Investor Rob LeClerc shares his necessary-but-not-sufficient conditions for AGI:

Clear communication with humans;
Coding that pays down technical debt faster than it's generated;
One-shot coding that doesn't infinitely recurse to "one more small thing to fix" after each review;
Open-ended agentic affordance that doesn't get stuck on JSON formatting and can one-shot new domains without a per-use-case harness;
Continual learning.
