ChatGPT 5.4 Thinking is very strong. Is anyone else impressed by this thing? No one (ie, people in the streets, co-workers at non-tech job, people at bars) has yet said to me "AGI is here." Am I missing something?

Would anyone like to have a conversation where we can intentionally practice pursuit of truth? (eg, ensure that we can pass eachother ITTs, avoid strawmanning, look for cruxes, etc)

I'm open to considering a wide range of propositions and questions, for example:

What speech, if any, should be prohibited in high schools?
Why don't universities do more explicit rationality training?
Is death a harm?
Under what conditions are centrally planned economies better than market economies?
Is monarchy superior to democracy?
