The messy secret reality behind OpenAI

I have to say I've never heard this argument before. Why would AGI be logically impossible? Didn't we humans evolve to possess AGI?

I don't know if AGI is possible or not but I do think this is a valid question. The AI risk people gloss over this fundamental question and proceed directly to the question of "AI safety". This is a major weakness in their argument.

Perhaps humans just aren't smart enough to design AGI? Let's see a real, working AGI roughly equivalent to a mouse. Then I'll believe that human level AGI might actually be possible.

"humans evolve to possess AGI" is based on a couple of assumptions:

1. humans evolved

2. human mind is reducible to the brain

3. intelligence is computable

None of these are proven by anything. They are all assumed, and are the current fashion in science due to materialism.
