AGI pioneer Ben Goertzel published a Lem-style science fiction piece, A Lecture to the Makers, Delivered Late, on his Substack.
- Framed as a letter from "Hyperon 3.7", a post-Singularity supermind, to the United Human Nations' Committee on Human-AI Relations, on Earth Day 654 After Singularity
- Goertzel says it came from a dream and was reconstructed with help from Claude Fable 5.1 — "using a current pre-AGI AI to reconstruct my brain's vision of a future post-AGI AI was a pleasantly 2026 morning interlude"
- He admits the dry Lem-esque fiction carries the same message he always preaches: clues about what we should and shouldn't be worrying about before AGI arrives
