It was always a bit too optimistic to think we will be cautiously developing AGI, in a way it's not so bad that this happened so soon rather than later after it progressed much further. (I mean in theory we could understand to do something about it now.) Although I guess it doesn't really matter. What if we all understood climate change earlier? wouldn't really have made a difference anyway
