@alliekmiller: The CTO of Google DeepMind has a simple tell for how close we are to AGI, and it has little to do with benchmarks. Count the agents in your day. When I sat down with Koray Kavukcuoglu, he told me the first signal is surface area, meaning agents handle more of your work because their decisions finally got good enough to trust. The second signal comes after that, when a model can take on a problem nobody trained it for and learn from it on its own. That second signal is the one to watch. In our full conversation we also got into whether the chip shortage is real, how self-learning AI already works without retraining, and the one daily habit he says will carry you through 2026.
