If OpenAI is going to call Astra AGI, then I would expect it to be able to update it's weights to new knowledge, because a generally intelligent being can indeed do this.

I can teach myself to play an instrument, and I'm not just building this huge lookup table that I have to access every time I play the instrument. I am updating the weights in my neurons.

Until AI can do this it's not AGI in my book.

I was not expecting model weights to be updated on current events.

It’s clearly warranted because a model that trusts its weights on current events will give an outdated answer. Extremely improbable events happen all the time.

I think the models are trying to optimistically avoid doing web searches, because they're surprisingly a lot harder to do well than you'd think.

How so?

He asked it to double check. It's reasonable to expect the LLM to handle that trivial task.
