There's a funny thing that happens in this field. The posts shift (which is well enough on its own) but then the conclusions stay with the old post. It's like, the definition of agi has obviously since shifted from general intelligence at the human level to somewhat superhuman (matching or exceeding human experts at all tasks) intelligence. But those people still think in terms of the old post. So they had all these "consequences" that would surely only happen with real agi years ago (at the time agi meant human level to them) but now those posts have changed, those "consequences" haven't. So now they're in this weird erroneous situation where x surely can't happen because agi surely hasn't been reached yet, forgetting x was a consequence of a lower bar. It's a form of short sightedness and a false sense of security.
