Verses Ai claims AGI within 2 years, the 3 roadmaps seem a bit too ambitious

Verses Ai made splashes with their NYT ad letter to Open Ai. As an OTC stock that is often pumped by investors, I am hesitant to trust these timelines until their beta is Public in Q2 2024 (private beta with Nasa and Volvo starts in January)

Seems a bit ambitious imho. (Three roadmap screenshots from

Buzzwords: free energy principal, HSML, HSTP (Hyperspace Transaction Protocol)

“HSML (Hyperspace Modeling Language), an explicit knowledge modeling language currently being developed into the P2874 IEEE standard that enables the translation of any multimodal data set (text, image, audio, sensor data) into a generative “world” model upon which software agents can reason and act.”

“VERSES recently achieved a significant internal breakthrough in Active Inference that we believe addresses the tractability problem of probabilistic AI. This advancement enables the design and deployment of adaptive, real-time Active Inference agents at scale, matching and often surpassing the performance of state-of-the-art deep learning. These agents achieve superior performance using orders of magnitude less input data and are optimized for energy efficiency, specifically designed for intelligent computing on the edge, not just in the cloud. Building on this breakthrough, we developed a novel framework to facilitate the scalable generation of agents with radically improved generalization, adaptability and computational efficiency. This framework also features superior alignability, interoperability and governability in accordance with and complemented by the P2874 Spatial Web standards being developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).”
