- *OpenAI is making significant strides towards artificial general
intelligence (AGI), aiming to replicate human-like cognitive abilities.*
-
The company recently unveiled its new AI model, ChatGPT o1, which is
capable of complex reasoning and logical thinking, surpassing simple
pattern recognition.
-
This breakthrough with ChatGPT o1 represents a substantial leap forward
in AI development, bringing OpenAI closer to achieving AGI.
-
The o1 models utilize a 'chain of thought' approach, allowing them to
think step-by-step, refine their reasoning, and correct mistakes.

(:-)...? Let's hope the Signals Directorate were heavily involved and the
commercial interests of Google, Meta et al were kept in perspective, but these
sorts of politico-techno decisions often seem to have an ethical component.? A
standout example is the proposed ban on children's access to social media, the
subject of another thread here.

In terms of "physical connection"?? The old ISO 7-layer model of Open Systems
Interconnection has the physical connection at the bottom of the stack because
it's so general in natureand has little to do with any higher functions at all;
it's just any method of signalling symbols, even Morse Code.? Bringing in "the
internet protocol suite" is no help IMO because that usually means TCP/IP
specifically, and it's only at ISO layers 2-3 anyway so has much the same
problems.
All this illustrates the fundamental difficulty of achieving functional & legal
_outcomes_ in terms of technology.? I suggest they're orthogonal dimensions of
the problem.
But if we have to do so for the sake of getting something done, I think
legislation has to be thought through much better at both legislative and
technical levels.? And that probably begins with Privacy Laws which are much
more European in tone, together with penalties which bloody well hurt and which
some businesses won't like!!

I've not quite finished drafting my paper debunking the nonsense that
these people carry on with. But I'm looking forward to all your
feedback once I've got an exposure draft in place.
