> What about if we live inside a simulation? AGI may be possible in base reality, but not within the confines of our simulated universe. Touché! Although, in that case, aren't we proof-by-construction of AGI? Also, if true, I suppose we need to start looking at all these other comment chains that talk about the AGI breaking out of computers and into the real world.
