Blogger argues GPT-6 astra crossed his AGI bar: the bottleneck is now us

Brandon Galang explains why he called GPT-6 astra AGI: his bar is that model capability finally crossed the chasm where the bottleneck is the user's ability to communicate intent and context. He pushes back on the "humans handle unspecified tasks" argument — experts shortcut via substantial implicit context, closer to a task-fine-tuned frontier model. He sees current models as baby AGI, noting continual learning is still needed for true generality.
