    @Overlap_TechPaul Graham: AGI Isn't a Finish Line, It's a Smear⁣ ⁣ "We thought AGI would be this finish line. We'd cross it, it would be very clear. But when you're standing on the finish line, you realize it has width... The finish line is actually a smear, and we're on it. That's why you can't get your restaurant times."
