Researchers at Microsoft are claiming that GPT-4 could be viewed as an early version of artificial general intelligence. This is just the latest instance in a long history of hype—and heated debate—around AGI. trib.al/e1IGfjz

Six years ago today, we launched GCIEL with one HTC Vive headset and a website. Several articles, conference presentations, study abroad experiences, VR projects, and now an NEH Digital Humanities Advancement Grant later, we're still going strong! 💅 💅 💅
