I feel you're conflating AGI and ASI here.

This is very napkin math, but the human brain has about 100 trillion parameters. Even the biggest models today top out at 10 trillion parameters. I think it's reasonable to assume that models need to be at least an order of magnitude bigger to capture the complexity of human intelligence, and probably a lot more.

Can you post the prompt? I'm curious as to how much hand holding is needed.

Take a look at the AutoExpert custom instructions: https://github.com/spdustin/ChatGPT-AutoExpert

It lets you specify verbosity from 1 to 5 (e.g. "V=1" in the prompt). Sometimes the model will just ignore that, but it actually does work most of the time. I use a verbosity of 1 or 2 when I just want a quick answer.

Even 5% is uncomfortably high if you're planning to build your mission-critical infrastructure around it.

> And that overspend on aggression and displays of power is part of what hampers their economic vitality while the more peace loving west gets to devote more resources to non destructive pursuits.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with centuries of western imperialism in that region.
