First slowly, and then all at once, dreams of LLMs bringing us to the cusp of AGI have fallen apart.
2025: The year in LLMs
This is the third in my annual series reviewing everything that happened in the LLM space over the past 12 months. For previous years see Stuff we figured out about …
Why I don’t think AGI is right around the corner
Continual learning is a huge bottleneck
Demis Hassabis Predicts AGI Will Have 10x The Impact Of The Industrial Revolution — And It Will Happen In
At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, Demis Hassabis said AGI could have 10 times the impact of the Industrial Revolution within a decade, potentially arriving in the next five years, while urging scientific guardrails and broad global cooperation to ensure it benefits society.
Public LLM exceeds superforecaster on Forecast bench by EOY 2026?
41% chance. Resolves to YES if any LLM released in 2026 exceeds the superforecaster baseline on ForecastBench by July 2027. Resolves to NO if this does not happen, or if after January 1, 2027 we have results from enough LLMs (e.g. the leading models from the major AI labs at the time) to be confident this will not occur. If The Forecasting Research Institute tells us how this market should resolve, then we will go with what they say.
LLMs break the internet. Signing everything fixes it.
The dead internet theory wasn't wrong, just early. Here's what to do next.

AGI isn’t the ‘Holy Grail’ for women in AI. It’s gender-purpose AI and it’s already here - Fast Company
Women AI Leaders are shaping the future of the technology in ways that are more purpose-driven.
Welcome to the AGI era of AI governance
It's a one-way door and we weren't ready for it.
LLMs and performative productivity
It's worth asking whether LLMs are actually making us more productive at all—and if so, what we might be sacrificing in return.

Training great LLMs entirely from ground up in the wilderness as a startup — Yi Tay
Chronicles of training strong LLMs from scratch in the wild
Multi-agentic Software Development is a Distributed Systems Problem (AGI can't save you from it)
Recently, I've been thinking a lot about scaffolding and languages for managing systems of LLMs coordinating with each other — new programming languages might be the ideal solution for this area.

this is true and is a big reason why you don’t need to be a highly technical researcher to use LLMs in surprising and novel ways https://t.co/TuxNzXzToU— Dan Shipper 📧 (@danshipper) July 27, 2025
