VCs are 'paralyzed' on AGI: many lack any hypothesis about whether it's real or coming
km · x · 2026-09-04
A post argues that many VCs don't even hold a hypothesis about AGI — is it coming, is it real, is it behind us? — and come across as paralyzed, avoiding the question entirely. The author's advice: dive in and form a view. It's fine if the view changes, but having no view at all makes it impossible to compete.
