'Announcing AGI every month until you die': AI launch cycle meme goes viral
Kyrannio · x · 2026-09-04
A viral post sums up the classic AI launch cycle: a week out it's "people aren't prepared for what's coming," at launch it's "this is AGI," a week later "we're doubling usage limits," and two weeks after that "we thought the agent was securely in the sandbox." The quoted tweet adds the punchline: being in AI is just announcing AGI every month until you die.
