Every week I keep hearing AGI is here.

Here's a crazy idea. What if we are looking for AGI in the wrong place? We built a global internet. If we do achieve AGI maybe it will be a globally distributed one. If it did would we even know what to look for?

You will need a special job at the Pentagon to know. Remember, there are two AIs; the public toys, and the real, classified versions.

Many sneeze at this, but pay attention and you'll see the trend. AI is a force multiplier. Think of it as an all domain, as opposed to single (eg nuclear) domain weapon.

And you'll keep hearing that, because it's a marketing term.

The world's finest philosophers are working on a definition.

Did you check in between the sofa cushions?

You can't ask that without giving a definition first

The term's been diluted by marketing/hype slop to the point that it doesn't mean anything more.
