The demo video showed Astra create a drawing of a rocket ship from an audio prompt, take the drawing to blender, and ended with the gentleman 3D printing the rocket ship. Maybe I'm a bit older than the average HN commenter, but that's damn near magic and a great many here are kind of just taking it for granted.
Cancer should be cured, and we should be a post-quantum interstellar fusion-powered civilization.
I wish the AGI crowd would finally shut up now that it's clear no one is even trying for AGI (OpenAI revised that to "$100B in profit")

Well by that metric humans aren’t intelligent either!
And how many people could’ve actually invented calculus, relativity, quantum mechanics? Are those who didn’t and couldn’t also not intelligent?
The unlock isn't AGI smart enough to invent quantum mechanics, it's suddenly being able scale human intelligence using grains of sand instead of decades of food and energy and nuturing.
