"AGI is 50 years away" — plus the viral quip: human intelligence runs on a Twix bar and soda

The poster asserts AGI is still 50 years away, quoting a Polish viral quip for ironic effect: it's crazy that AI needs a nuclear reactor for power while real intelligence runs on a Twix bar and cocaine. Essentially an AI-circle joke about the energy hunger of large models, paired with a pessimistic AGI timeline take.
