Was listening to some AI researchers yesterday who believe OpenAI have deliberately stepped down what GPT-5 can do and what the company is capable of. Not sure they think AGI is imminent necessarily (they might) but that things are further ahead than we are led to believe.

Most likely. There’s a lot of cope from people whose jobs are becoming obsolete real quick. GPT-5 is performing on par with top-level mathematicians under competition conditions, and people still think it’s a glorified search engine. The tool is as good as the user.
The glorified search engine comparison is pretty bad. I must say I thought the AI thing was hyped up until this year but have rapidly come around to just how massively disruptive it is going to be, and I'm very optimistic on the future. Challenges ahead for sure, but exciting times too 👍
