"you insist that there is something a machine cannot do. if you will tell me precisely what it is that a machine cannot do, then i can always make a machine which will do just that!" — john von neumann. von neumann's challenge echoes across decades of artificial intelligence

I explored these questions—and more—here:

intelligence has evolved slowly across time. from primitive organisms to human consciousness, each advance took millions of years. even our most impressive leaps—language, writing, computing—spread across generations. but we're approaching a break in this pattern, when

technology always presents us with a choice. every major invention throughout time has had the capacity to help or harm, to build or destroy. fire could warm homes or burn them down. the same physics behind nuclear power plants gave us atomic bombs. but agi—artificial general

since the beginning, we've been making tools. each invention solved a specific problem: wheels helped us move, microscopes let us see tiny things, computers made calculations easier. each was limited to its particular function, bounded by what its creator imagined it could do.

humanity is collectively sleepwalking towards the single most transformative event in its history—the creation of artificial general intelligence. much like a household ignores the faint smell of gas until the inevitable spark, we are perilously close to an ignition point few
