This has been my opinion for some time too. I don't think I'll see AGI in my lifetime. I think the current widespread belief comes from the massive leap that transformers provided, but transformers have their limits. We would need

These concerns have been raised and addressed. Firstly, I am not sure how cars getting damaged means that multiplayer games have to become F2P - but that's not steelmanning your argument. One of the major concerns raised has been middl
