People are only just starting to get to grips with #LLMs and their impact on daily life so the significance of the impact of #AI in other domains is going largely unappreciated I think.

For a while I was tracking #AI in my tweets with reports on the impending robot apocalypse.

Editorial display note: this retrospective coda is shown separately from the original series.

Even so I'm skeptical of the claim that we have 1000 days till #AGI – and yet… The pace of development is stunning. #AI is already assisting us with the development of AI and we live in a world which is going to change very quickly, very soon.
