when i was 14 reading lesswrong i had a strong sense that AGI was real and coming and one of the most important things in the world. but also that it would be here... later. 2050? 2070? after i had had the chance at a full life.

in 2020 it became very clear i was wrong.

its so weird to live to see things emerge that were literally impossible science fiction when I was a kid

internet was new, smart phones and kindle and ipod all impossible future tech

standing at the cusp of AGI now feels absurd to a degree that's hard to communicate
