Will The Singularity Ever Happen?

And, so George Orwell projected a world where every single part of our lives was monitored and controlled by Big Brother. Arthur C Clark also outlined the day when machines focused solely on a goal — even if it was to the detriment of human lives.

Some researchers, such as with [2] have already shown that ChatGPT 4 passes the Turing Test — but this only relates to five-minute chats [here]:

The major GenAI companies are now using massive data sets to train on, and where Llama Behemoth [here] uses 2 trillion trained features, and compared to Llama 3, which had 70 billion features.
