I’m familiar with AGI, and the concepts herein (why the OP likes the proposed definition of CT better than PONR), it was just a curious post, what with having “decisions in the past cannot be changed” and “does X concept exist” and all.
I think maybe we shouldn’t muddy the waters more than we already have with “AI” (like AGI is probably a better term for what was meant here— or was it? Are we talking about losing millions of call center jobs to “AI” (not AGI) and how that will impact the economy/whatnot? I’m not sure if that’s transformatively up there with the agricultural and industrial revolutions (as automation seems industrial-ish?). But I digress.), by saying “maybe crunch time isn’t a thing? Or it’s relative?”.
I mean, yeah, time is relative, and doesn’t “actually” exist, but if indeed we live in causal universe (up for debate) then indeed, “crunch time” exists, even if by nature it’s fuzzy— as lots of things contribute to making Stuff Happen. (The butterfly effect, chaos theory, game theory &c.)

Agree with Jim, and suggest starting with some Rob Miles videos. The Computerphile ones, and those on his main channel, are a good intro.
