There's one thing this is missing... nobody knew AGI was possible in this timeframe when things were set up. (No, we haven't hit AGI as far as we know, but it now feels possible.)

Even 2 years ago, I don't think anyone predicted this is where we'd currently be. Sam said the night before he was fired that he saw something that is way farther along than anyone would expect.

It makes a lot more sense when you realize everyone underestimated the speed at which this would happen, and the fear (legitimate or otherwise) that provoked.

Reads like a teaser to a thriller. I just wonder what is that he saw that night?

Like the "monolith" scene from the Kubrick's Odissey


> but it now feels possible

"Feels" I think is the right word. Depends on how you even define AGI I guess (not sure anyone is able to clearly define it in non scifi terms).
