Gradual AGI as optimization, not a milestone
The paper argues AGI should be read as a continuous optimization process, not a single threshold. That shifts the wire from product launch to phase transition.
SO WHAT — The window narrows when intelligence becomes an improving system rather than a finish line; governance built for events will miss the inversion.
◐ DEVELOPINGI
Gradual AGI framed as an optimization problem
A Champaign Magazine piece presents gradual AGI through formal models and empirical tests. The wire is clear: the inversion is being treated as engineering, not speculation.
SO WHAT — The window stays open only if this logic remains contestable; once intelligence is normalized as an optimization target, concentration becomes the default.
Signal arcs are threaded automatically when related intelligence is detected.
