The phrase ‘Feeling the AGI’ is one that I have been using for a few months to describe friends of mine who have come to the realization that in the near future, society will go through transformative change due to Artificial Intelligence. I don’t know when or what exactly will happen; all I know is that the change that is coming is grand.
I felt the AGI a few months ago. I distinctly remember having a physical reaction. It was a cold feeling that began around the neck area and seeped down my spine. My stare froze into nothingness, as if I had seen a ghost. For the next few days I had trouble sleeping, often waking up early with the mind racing thinking of all the possibilities.
There has been one other time in my life I have felt something similar. It was the night of March 4, 2020, and I had just finished reading the Report of the WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). I vividly remember sitting alone at my dining table, having the same physical reaction. Something grand was about to happen. 12 days later, the world shut down. (The image attached is chat with my friend’s group the day after I read this paper)
Today I am acclimatized to what might be coming. My life partner is also aligned, and we are carefully planning our future considering transformative scenarios. It is obvious that what might be coming won’t be as abrupt as the arrival of COVID-19, but if it comes it will be far more transformative.
I am posting this today because ‘Feeling the AGI’ is starting to appear outside of smaller online ecosystems. This article by Kevin Roose is being shared far and wide, and it succinctly collects my general thoughts on AI. More and more people I know are Feeling the AGI. Are you?
