   Our readingIt would be depressing to reach AGI and still need a human body to get anything done in the physical world, so robots have to be part of the transition.

   AGI

   Their wordsI think it’s depressing if we have AGI and the only way to get things done in the physical world is to make a human go do it. So I really hope that as part of this transition, as this phase change, we also get humanoid robots or some sort of physical world robots.
