Deepmind's Hassabis sees humanity "in the foothills of the singularity" while LeCun says current AI isn't intelligent
Quick Answer
Yann LeCun argues that current AI lacks true intelligence, while Demis Hassabis believes humanity is at the 'foothills of the singularity.' Oriol Vinyals notes that today's models, which would have seemed like AGI seven years ago, still fail to learn from experience or achieve significant breakthroughs.

An AI model programmed nonstop for 19 days on a single MirrorCode task that cost $2,600 to run
Epoch AI's MirrorCode benchmark reveals Claude Opus 4.7 as the leader with a 56% solve rate, reconstructing a 16,000-line toolkit in 14 hours. Despite this, all models tested struggle with the most complex tasks, highlighting limitations in current AI capabilities. The single task consumed $2,600 over 19 days, raising questions about cost-effectiveness in AI development.
