If we achieve agency, then what ?

That's very speculative. We are not that worried about other Sci Fi concepts such as teleportation and aliens.

I respect the rationalist argument if there's a 1% chance to achieve AGI, we should spend 1% of our resources to think about it. Makes sense! But having it come up in every discussion with just speculative opinions doesn't really advance the cause, and gets tiring soon (to me, at least).

I mean, the top repo on GitHub is explicitly trying to create agents out of these LLMs. In 10 years what kind of progress do you expect to see in their reasoning, planning and memory capabilities? How about in 20 years? This is not something that might someday affect our descendants. It’s developing now. People right now are trying to build skynet.
