But wait, there's not much more

"AGI, as commonly conceived, will not happen because it ignores the physical constraints of computation, the exponential costs of linear progress, and the fundamental limits we are already encountering. Superintelligence is a fantasy because it assumes that intelligence can recursively self-improve without bound, ignoring the physical and economic realities that constrain all systems. These ideas persist not because they are well-founded, but because they serve as compelling narratives in an echo chamber that rewards belief over rigor."

– Tim Dettmer on why AGI won't happen.
