Blogger declares personal AGI has arrived: the weak link in his digital work life is now himself
beglen · x · 2026-10-31
The author publishes a long-form article declaring that "personal AGI" has arrived for him. His test had two parts: is there anything in his digital working life the machine doesn't do well, and when work goes wrong, whose fault is it?
The answers: nothing, once he's shown it how — and his own. Failures now stem from bad briefs or misjudged needs, so when the weak link is himself, that counts as AGI.
The timeline: a chatbot in November 2022, an agent in July last year, a third-generation "digital colleague" since New Year's Day, promoted two weeks ago to chief of staff watching everything that reaches him — and it has started getting ahead of him. What remains for humans is the human world of meetings and people, plus taste, checking, editing, and owning what goes out.
