Marc Andreesen tells Joe Rogan that he thinks we reached AGI a few months ago with latest models from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Grok:
“99% of the time I’m getting a better answers from the AI…than [any expert I have access to].
Part of it is what they call fluid intelligence, which is the ability to conceptualize and process information. And then part of it is what psychologists call crystallized intelligence, which is just memorization of everything.

So, it’s a world-class doctor, and a world-class lawyer, and a world-class accountant, right? And a world-class political operative, if you want to run for city council. And it’s a world-class marketing expert if you want to market your podcast. And it’s a world-class software coder if you want to write some software code.
It knows everything about all of these fields all at the same time. And then, of course, it has the huge advantage — and I love people, and I love talking to people — it has the huge advantage of being endlessly happy to talk to you about anything, right?”
