Without AGI the Math Is Impossible

Sal has been pushing the AGI conversation for over a year, and there is a reason he keeps coming back to it. His framework breaks it down to three things: energy, algorithmic efficiency, and the ability to produce an original concept verified by experiment - not hallucination. That third condition is what separates real AGI from everything that came before it. It wasn't about raw computing power alone, but about whether the system could genuinely think beyond what it was given. So why does this matter for spacetime research? Because without that level of capability, the math required simply cannot be done. The missing piece was never the theory. It was the tool.
