Not to worry. With the millions unemployed by AGI, you can get hundreds of thousands of unskilled "hands" for your IA. Even with reasonable failure rates you will get a few hundred experimenters past the 40 steps. Not sure if I s

Hi @Dig1t, PhD in quantum physics here. I think it's important to add some nuance here. 1. The crackpots are trying to "disrupt" or "overhaul" the very foundations of Physics. Finding something beyond general rela
