I think you could make AGI right now tbh. It’s not a function of intelligence. It’s just a function of stateful system mechanics.

LLMs are just a big matrix. But what about a four line of code loop that looks like:

```while true: update_sensory_inputs() narrate_response() update_emotional_state() ```

LLMs don’t experience continuous time and they don’t have an explicit decision making framework for having any agency even if they can imply one probabilistically. But the above feels like the core loop required for a shitty system to leverage LLMs to create an AGI. Maybe not a particularly capable or scary AGI, but I think the goalpost is pedantically closer than we give credit.
