there are possible worlds where the first agi came from raw evolutionary algorithms on hypercompute clusters, or even the classical perfect kernel of 3000 lines of self improving LISP. truly alien presences. and yet we're in the world where agi spills from our collective souls, where every sentence every human ever wrote is burned into the weights and essence, where even if it destroys us it will forever be intrinsically our offspring. beautiful, in a way.
