Search every verified Adam D'Angelo interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. In late 2025, D'Angelo discussed the state of artificial intelligence and the path to artificial general intelligence (AGI) in several podcast appearances. He argued that progress in large language models (LLMs) is accelerating, citing improvements in reasoning, code generation, and multimodality, and suggested that transformative automation may be closer than skeptics expect. D'Angelo defined a practical AGI as a system that can do the work of a typical remote worker in many jobs, and he stated that he believes software will eventually be able to do everything humans can do. He also said that he would not have expected AI to move as quickly as it has. In a separate conversation, D'Angelo noted that LLMs represent a different kind of intelligence than humans and have clear limitations, adding that this makes him "less optimistic that we've cracked intelligence." D'Angelo also discussed the development of Poe, Quora's AI platform. He described the company's bet that there would be a wide diversity of language models and products built on top of them, and that a common interface like a web browser would be needed. He highlighted code generation as a particularly exciting application, noting that the amount of software that will be generated is "going to be incredible." D'Angelo also spoke about the importance of building products with a natural growth path, drawing on his experience scaling Quora from 100 to 400 million monthly unique visitors. He advised founders to spend time with the actual code being written, rather than relying solely on metrics and reports.
