Humanity should count as actual AGI, but it remains slow.
It's a weird middle ground, where it is fooming but pretty slowly. (I mean, as a human, I would think that, i.e. I would experience time on a scale that's somewhat faster than humanity's foom.)
I don't think the term "FOOM" as ever been explicitely defined, it's just verbal tic/shorthand for "intelligence explosion". How can something explode slowly???
also nice save defining "AGI == humanity" => goal reached
glad to hear there's still a career as a rent-a-cop once software eats my job
"monument to the first 500" or something, really fun concept - rich people pay a massive amount for essentiially suicide, get a monunment for their pains
I kinda like the Revelation Space universe, but I am literally stuck at 85% on book 4 or 5
Good luck with your novel!
nominative determinism strikes again
it gets better. Godier (the guy who misled Gruber) admits to using genAI to create a website that just to happened to almost exactly duplicate an existing website:

no mention of the submission of an astrology app to the App store and getting rejected
Noted Apple blowhard John Gruber makes a mistake, is naturally a performative dick about apologizing for it

(nothing to do with AI or crypto, I just think Gruber is a dick. And the subject of the story - an app developer who apparently felt so secure in his indie rep he could do some light fraud for clicks - is a recognizable figure)
the orifice will pulse invitingly
