Doesn't matter what your definition of it is, if you believe what we have now is AGI, your definition is the most lenient and weakest concept of "agi" there is

Summary

Argues that current AI does not meet AGI standards because it lacks recursive self-improvement, and criticizes those who claim otherwise as having a weak definition of AGI.

I'm seeing some people desperately claiming what we have now is agi. If AI cannot do RSI or self improve without human supervision and intervention, your agi will never be capable of the singularity or even capable of improving itself. Some people here even believe Google and claude devs saying "ai is writing our code" as some form RSI, thus is "agi". No, that's not RSI. If you believe agi is here, your "agi" will never be capable of creating ASI or upbringing the singularity. Your "agi" isn't even capable of good benchmark results in arc agi 3 or play Minecraft without heavy harnesses or training data. If your definition of agi is here, your definition of agi was always weak or you moved the goal posts into a weaker definition of agi. I'm pro ai as it can get, but I'm not going to hallucinate that what we have is some form ai that can create ASI or the singularity

The article introduces 'The System of No' as a framework for evaluating artificial general intelligence, emphasizing distinction, refusal, and jurisdiction over human imitation. It uses Anthropic's Claude Mythos as a case study to highlight the dual-use risks of advanced AI, where capability crosses into consequence, and critiques current safety policies as potentially counterfeit governance.
