According to 1M AI News, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman was asked in an interview whether he agrees with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's statement that "AGI has already been achieved." He provided an uncertain response: "By my personal definition, I would say I'm about 70-80% there." He believes AGI will be realized in a few years, at which point "almost all intellectual tasks, everything you can do on a computer, AI will be able to do," but the process will still be "jagged." Currently, AI has surpassed humans in many tasks, such as coding, but still struggles with some "very basic tasks that humans can easily accomplish." He illustrated the complexity of his feelings with a personal comparison: "If you showed me today's system five years ago, I would say 'Oh yes, that's what we were talking about.' But it is different from what any of us imagined." The next concrete milestone towards AGI is the planned launch of an "automated AI researcher" this fall. When pressed about what it would specifically do, Brockman said: "It will take all the work that a research scientist does from start to finish and put it onto silicon." He compared this system to managing a junior researcher: it cannot be left unattended for too long, or it will go in unproductive directions, but having senior researchers provide feedback, review charts, and guide the direction is sufficient. He defined the current stage as "the early phase of takeoff": the stronger the AI, the more it can accelerate its own improvement, creating a positive feedback loop; the external supply chain is also accelerating, with chip developers investing more resources, and the developer economy around AI continuously expanding, all energies are converging. He also disclosed an internal cultural detail: after the release of ChatGPT, he felt a sense of "we won" at the company's holiday party, which he described as the most frightening moment for him at OpenAI. "No, we are challengers, we always have been." He believes that the emergence of competitors is "very healthy for OpenAI," as it has helped the company realign its direction.

Moldova has banned crypto mining activities and the importation of its equipment because of the growing energy crisis, EPrimeFeed reported Oct. 26.

According to the report, Moldova’s Commission for Emergency Situations (CES) decided to embrace this measure in light of the energy crisis that has engulfed the region. Reports revealed that Moldovan President Maia Sandu ordered government agencies to save electricity and also assess the impact of the soaring energy cost on citizens.

Besides banning crypto mining activities, the authorities also introduced other electricity-saving measures like shutting down escalators within dedicated hours and turning off fountains and advertising, decorative, and architectural lighting.

Moldova is currently facing an energy crunch due to Ukraine’s inability to continue exporting 30% of the electricity it needs. Apart from that, Russia-owned Gazprom had informed the European country that its gas flows would be further reduced, and so will its electricity supplies from Transnistria.
