I like the insight about “we already have dark factories (or specialized AI) where we want to, making a robot that can stitch your t-shirt at home (AGI) is ineffective”.

One analogy for this is cars. We found out it’s enough to pave a network of roads for “good enough” cars, even though there are still pipe dreams about supercar so flexible it can navigate any terrain.

The issue might be that the West is delaying building the road infrastructure waiting for that AGI supercar to happen.

(Military might care about the latter though, but in reality, drones and quadrupeds and tanks will be a better choice.)
