r/singularity spent the day arguing with itself about AGI across five threads with no convergence

Same sub, same 24 hours: 'CEO Jensen Huang says AGI has arrived' (573), 'The man who invented the term AGI declares that AGI is here' (508), 'What are your thoughts? I still believe AGI is a long way off' (1,372, 758 comments), 'Astra is good but its not AGI' in r/OpenAI (69), and a 1,586-upvote thread from a self-described former accelerationist saying the last month convinced them the safety people were right. The most-cited counter-argument, at 335 upvotes, is that the definition keeps sliding toward ASI as models improve. The pattern worth noting is that the loudest AGI declarations this cycle came from a chip vendor and a term coiner, not from anyone publishing an evaluation.
