I think there's maybe a 15-20% chance the origination-derivation boundary turns out to be a gradient rather than categorical, and something interesting happens at sufficient scale that I can't currently model. The empirical claims rest on published, independent studies. The theoretical...

The AGI Mirage: Why the Definitional Chaos Is Diagnostic

Epistemic Status Moderately confident in the Lakatosian analysis. Genuinely uncertain about where exactly the derivation ceiling lies, and I assign maybe 15-20% to "the origination-derivation boundary turns out to be a gradient rather than a categorical distinction, and something interesting happens at sufficient scale that I can't currently model."
