They’re the subset of elected MPs who the Prime Minister chooses to become Ministers in the Cabinet - ie MPs given charge of specific departments

I have to say that, apart from occasional popups suggesting premium subscription, I’ve not seen the experience change much - yet. The app has had cosmetic changes, but these haven’t been negative. It’s possible there is note coming down the line, but right now I’m still using it fine

They argue that AGI claims are based on shifting the definition of AGI to something easier to meet, that advocates rely on hitting artificial (gameable) benchmarks rather than dealing with novelty, and that providing answers to questions doesn’t mean they’re doing cognition as we’d normally understand it, especially as LLMs don’t express doubt (they don’t say this, but I’ll add: this is because they can’t do metacognition: they can’t think about their own thought processes, as we can)
