The end-to-end (e2) argument is about where to put functionality in a layered system. It generally argues for functions to be moved out and up, but it does not say you cannot have functionality at lower layers or in the middle. The paper states "A great deal of information about system implementation is needed to make this choice intelligently."
Seen in a discussion about the recent GNU inetutils telnetd vulnerability, someone incorrectly states:

Andrew Ng Warns AI Far from General Intelligence Amid Overhype
Andrew Ng cautions that AI remains narrowly focused, resource-heavy, and far from achieving general intelligence or replacing humans soon, amid overhyped expectations. Echoing experts like Hinton, discussions highlight job augmentation, ethical concerns, regulations, and technical barriers. Ultimately, AI is seen as a collaborative tool enhancing human potential.

I completely disagree with the premise of this piece but I agree with it's overall conclusion… so this is awkward.
It's plain wrong for me to claim AGI is here and then only focus on LLMs being useful in a general sense.
Intelligence is only brought up as a segue to ask what technology ultimately should be used for.
Discuss the question at the end, for sure, but the first part is wholly unnecessary since the conclusion (here's the twist) is kinda general in its…

AGI is here (and I feel fine)
I propose to begin this year with an acknowledgment that is strategic but/and also sincere.

Syntax is not Semantics
Language is not the same as intelligence.
The entire AI bubble is built on ignoring that.

The Illusion of AGI, or What Language Models Can Do Without Thought
It is not simple stubbornness that LLMs are not “intelligent,” much less a form of “general” intelligence, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

Another reminder about 2020: the Hennepin County atty initially brought softball charges that would have resulted in moderate sentences (because they were weak) and probably wouldn’t have held up in court anyway (because they were mismatched to the crime).
Attorney General Keith Ellison snatched the investigation away from the county and brought real charges that really stuck — and he had the backing to do that because of the sheer volume of protest.
