AGI
Blink and you'll miss it.
Reading Tim Urban's AI Revolution essay from 2015 is uncanny.
I just started playing with Gemini CLI (Google's answer to Claude Code) and I'm blown away by what I'm able to do with the AI-in-terminal paradigm.
What made me finally decide to try it out? I watched this talk about general agents. 14:32 onwards provides a great mental model, but the full video is worth a watch.
Key takeaway: general AI agents have arrived, and they're not just for coding anymore.
This sure sounds like... Artificial General Intelligence (AGI).
Not the self-aware, sentient kind, mind you. Rather simply a human level raw intelligence.
Fun fact: Gemini CLI has written a "super significant" amount of its own code.
Robin Sloan's essay says it all: AGI is here (and I feel fine).
