why agi is not possible with the current llms and transformers

Yes, I know this is the kind of title that usually makes people angry before the second paragraph. But let’s be honest for a second: a lot of the AGI discussion right now is built on vibes, product s, and investors hallucinating roadmaps. Current LLMs are impressive. Transformers were a historic breakthrough. But that does not mean the current architecture is a straight road to AGI. And this is not even some fringe opinion anymore. People very close to the center of the modern AI wave have been signaling versions of this for a while. The point is not that LLMs are useless.
