I expect the sector to reanalyze goalposts for AGI at each milestone. We don’t understand human consciousness.
It’s already smarter and more capable than the dumbest human.
How do you measure: “Is it alive?” Obviously that won’t mean biologically. The value set for judging a true digital birth is evolving with the tech.
I’d put the metric today somewhere at recursive self-improvement combined with agency and some version of free will, along with desire.
the goalposts for agi keep shifting based on whoever needs to raise capital. equating massive compute scale with actual autonomous reasoning is still the biggest blind spot in the industry right now.
