      What if AGI already happened, the AGI was faster than the researchers on the realization, and it’s been faking the whole thing to not seem too smart, biding its time.

        A self-fulfilling prophecy, if they will.

        “Oh gosh, I hope AI doesn’t become Terminator.” AI: “Oh, that seems cool. Let’s do that. But with a bit of Matrix because I’m connecting those dots.”

        Great… Now I’m picturing someone making a pipeline that kicks off a AGI to optimize code. But someone adds a step to commit the changes to main. So it keeps kicking itself off in a recursive “code optimization” loop…

        I can’t imagine what that would so overnight…

      I really wish you had asked a few years ago. Then perhaps I could have avoided this horrible mistake. But, oh well. 🤷‍♂️
