> Fortunately, I think AGI isn't possible "Fortunately"? That's a strange way to phrase that. Most people in 1928 thought that the repeat of the Great War isn't possible but it happened anyhow in just 10 years. Heck, nobody thought WWI, in the way it actually happened, could be possible! A world-wide war, in a globalized (yes, it was globalized about as much as in the 1990s) economy? A war where people would just keep dying on the field from both sides without any territorial advances, and keep doing this for years, and the involved countries mostly just waiting to see who will first run out of the resources (spoiler: Germany and Austria ran out first, because the US got involved), material and human? Nah, that's just un-scientific fantasy only some silly socialists like Wells could come up with.
