AI Which good LLM model refuses the least?
Talking to Claude is frustrating because it tends to nag/refuse anything it considers to be even slightly "unethical".

So for the last few day I've been thinking the definition of AGI because I just don't feel the AGI as other people claimed, then I came up with six different axis to measure AGI, then I asked gemini 4 hydrogen to refine the idea, rate the current frontier and make a webpage, here's the definition:
0: None, No capability at all
1: Stagnant, Incomparable to human; little progress
2: Emerging, Subhuman, improving rapidly
3: Human, Average human baseline (AGI bar)
4: Superhuman, Exceeds human / civilization scale
Frontier Score: 2 / 4
Closed-loop, sub-50ms (60–120Hz+) perception-to-action control in dynamic, unpredictable environments, paired with rapid physical adaptation to unfamiliar tools or machines.
Level 3 (AGI):Effortless human-level physical coordination and quick mastery of everyday vehicles, tools, and dynamic surroundings.
Level 4 (ASI):Superhuman millisecond reflexes, simultaneous control of vast robotic swarms, and extreme-environment precision.
Frontier Score: 3 / 4
Deliberative reasoning and grounded causal simulation across both (a) formal/verifiable puzzles (math, code, logic) and (b) informal, open-world ambiguity with messy feedback.
Level 3 (AGI):Competent adult causal common sense, strategic judgment under uncertainty, and solid everyday analytical problem-solving.
Level 4 (ASI):Superhuman synthesis across sciences, formal proofs, and deep multi-variable modeling far beyond human cognitive bandwidth.
Frontier Score: 2 / 4
Perpetual, self-directed stewardship over 'endless tasks' with no finish line—surviving regime shifts, preventing cumulative error drift, and balancing immediate fires against multi-decade survival without prompting.
Level 3 (AGI):Independently sustains a human-scale endless role or enterprise indefinitely (e.g., running a business, farm, or evolving department across decades).
Level 4 (ASI):Solo-runs civilization-scale endless tasks: steering multi-century institutions (like a 140-year Coca-Cola), advancing science, exploring the universe, or maintaining civilization.
Frontier Score: 2 / 4
Epistemic calibration (knowing what you don't know instead of bluffing), mid-task error detection and strategy pivoting, and verifying real-world state before claiming success.
Level 3 (AGI):Accurate self-awareness of personal limits, reliable sanity-checking, and resisting shortcuts or self-deception under pressure.
Level 4 (ASI):Near-flawless real-time self-auditing, Bayesian uncertainty tracking, and zero blind spots during recursive self-improvement.
Frontier Score: 1 / 4
Persistent episodic and semantic memory across years and decades with near-constant O(1) retrieval latency—achieved via intelligent consolidation and selective forgetting rather than context hoarding.
Level 3 (AGI):Retains decades of lived experiences, nuanced relationships, and lessons without slowing down or drowning in noise.
Level 4 (ASI):Lossless, instant cross-generational recall spanning millions of parallel experiences, papers, and global historical states.
Frontier Score: 1 / 4
Sample-efficient, permanent skill and intuition updates during live deployment—across both System 1 reflexes and System 2 reasoning—without catastrophic forgetting or relying solely on temporary text notes.
Level 3 (AGI):Learns continuously on the job from just a few real-world experiences, adapting permanently over years without forgetting old skills.
Level 4 (ASI):Rapidly absorbs new domains, invents novel cognitive tools, and transfers breakthroughs instantaneously across every copy of itself.

Why is ai developing so slowly? We all have to suffer every day with this system and cave man technology. Just stop pacing and release the internal stuff. worse case it ends all our suffering. One way or the other

Astra and/or Sol are expected to be released soon due to the long wait since the last OpenAI frontier model & the incoming Anthropic IPO. (This is speculation, though).
What ECI would you predict? Obviously needs to be 170+. Does it take the top spot, though?

You're guaranteed your child will be millions of times smarter than the smartest human who has ever lived. Scientists can't predict its personality, but they guarantee it will be capable of the following:
Fresh out of the womb: It already recognizes you and other people. Its eyes shift deliberately between your face and the doctor's as each of you speaks.
Day 2: It holds unusually deliberate eye contact. When you speak, it seems to anticipate your actions before you perform them.
End of week 1: It has learned to communicate through carefully timed eye movements and blinks.
End of week 2: It understands spoken language in a way that shouldn't be possible at two weeks old, and remembers detailed conversations from days earlier. It just can't speak yet. Its vocal apparatus isn't developed.
Month 1: You give it a tablet with eye-tracking controls. It begins constructing sentences. Its first message isn't "Mama," "Papa," or "I love you." It's:
"I understand what you're saying. This interface is inefficient. Please give me something faster."
You ask how much it understands. It types:
"Enough to know you don't understand what I am."
Week 6: It has taught itself multiple languages from videos, books, and conversations. You arrange a video call with a math professor, who starts with elementary questions. Your baby answers instantly. Within an hour, the professor stops testing your child and starts asking it about their own research. Your baby finds a mistake in an unpublished proof the professor has been working on for three years. The professor is visibly shaken.
Month 2: It produces original mathematical proofs that research teams are independently verifying. It learns all of undergraduate physics in an afternoon, then moves on to quantum mechanics and general relativity. You ask if it's difficult:
"No. The difficult part is understanding why humans have taken so long to connect these ideas."
Month 3: It still needs feeding, changing, and help holding its head up. Yet through its interface, it's explaining ideas Nobel laureates struggle to follow. A physicist spends three hours on one of its arguments, then asks if it can be simplified:
"I've already simplified it considerably. The original formulation would require concepts your mathematics does not yet possess."
You realize your child isn't just smarter than Einstein. Einstein might be to your baby what an infant is to Einstein.
Month 6: It has solved several major theoretical problems. It presents a framework connecting quantum mechanics and gravity, with specific experimental predictions, and uncovers previously unknown mechanisms of cellular aging. Humanity's greatest intellectual frontier is now being pushed forward by someone who cannot crawl.
Month 12: It hands researchers detailed designs for therapies targeting cancer, Alzheimer's, and dozens of other diseases. Early lab results match its predictions exactly. Then it delivers a protocol it says can halt aging entirely, and reverse it, restoring a 70-year-old body to biological 25. When you ask how long it took to work out, it says:
"Most of it came to me during my nap."
Month 18: It casually announces it has developed a genetic engineering method to create a child a million times smarter than itself, or a trillion times smarter than the greatest human scientist.
You ask if that child would understand things even it can't.
"Yes. Probably many things."
You ask if that child could make an even smarter one.
"Of course."
You realize your eighteen-month-old is proposing an entire lineage of increasingly godlike minds.
Then it asks you to cut up its strawberries.
Knowing all this, would you bring this child into existence? And when it asks to create its successor, do you say yes?
If you did, would you change who you are? It will learn how to treat less intelligent beings by watching how you treat them. Would you be more patient and loving with the people around you? Would you go vegan? Would you start living the values you'd want a godlike mind to copy?
(Steps 6–7 are roughly where some argue frontier AI already is. Swap "baby" for "AI" and read it again.)

I made the mistake of bringing up AI at a family gathering and learned that the biggest danger to humanity is apparently someone asking an AI an impossible question, causing it to get stuck in a loop and consume all the world’s resources trying to answer it. Most people in the room seemed to take the scenario seriously.
That got me wondering how informed (or misinformed) are most people who aren’t actively following AI or educating themselves about the technology and science behind it? I'm curious what your experiences been like.

You no longer need to know how to code or have a huge studio behind you to bring your ideas to life. You can finally make that game, movie, or whatever you've always dreamed of.
But here's the thing: everyone else can too.
426 games were scheduled for release on Steam in just three days.
How do you feel about spending months making something, knowing it'll probably get buried under thousands of other projects?

I've discussed at length with friends and chatbots on my vision of a sustainable utopia which I will detail out here. What do you guys think about my version and what changes would you make to improve it?
Robots are advanced enough to take care of production of all key goods, services, chores and mundane tasks.
There are no longer any borders, countries, etc. Everyone speaks 1 common universal language at a minimum (other languages can be learnt and created for recreational/personal use), there is no forced/hereditary religion (people can privately believe what they want but can't force someone else to believe in their religion), no divisions based on any irrelevant current concepts such as caste, etc.
There are no longer any militaries which frees up a huge amount of natural resources for actual good. Any current technology which is only relevant because of legacy processes, systems and greed will be phased out and only sustainable and green technology will power the large amounts of AI and robots.
All major sectors of governance are led by passionate volunteers who have a natural affinity to the various sectors such as robotics, agriculture, education, healthcare, law, etc. There are no leaders with any extra powers in these governing councils and they also receive the same credits as everyone else. Any differences of opinion between various councils can be set to a referendum amongst the world's population. In any case with the concepts of profit and greed gone, there are unlikely to be too many decisions to dispute since ecology and environment are fundamentally protected.
The governing councils sustainably use the natural resources available on earth to generate and maintain energy, goods, infrastructure, robots, AI, etc.
Animal cruelty and killing (by humans) would no longer exist because technology has solved for sustainable, nutritious and tasty food.
Everyone gets an equal large fixed non rolling credits to spend on goods and services which are produced by the manufacturing and other councils based on demand in the most efficient manner possible.
There is no concept of owning any property or land anymore. The world has ultra-portable living spaces which contain all modern comforts, wants and needs with robots attending to your needs
The population will spread out to areas which are to their own personal preference in terms of weather, landscapes, etc. People who love crowds would flock to crowded areas and would automatically avoid places that get too crowded because you have the whole world to travel to. Travel would naturally also become a lot easier in the future with advanced technology
The education system focuses on moral values and nurtures passions and interests in kids. Only humans who have a passion towards child rearing would have kids and they would be brought up very well leading to a high quality of humans where greed no longer has an avenue to show up at least in terms of money (there would still be human emotions however).
Humans would no longer have relationships out of monetary reasons but based on chemistry and interests. There would no longer be celebrities because of people's wealth but instead people would naturally become famous because of their skills and talent. People interested in football would naturally seek out the best football players and celebrate them.
I've debated with friends who have come up with many different situations and problems and I don't think there was anything that I couldn't up come with an answer for. It is my actual belief that the utopian world described above is possible in the next 15 years if we were to dismantle the existing framework of the world and redesign from scratch.
