The AGI Significance Paradox

As progress accelerates towards AGI, the number of people who realize the significance of each new breakthrough decreases. This is the AGI Significance Paradox. There is a very old metaphor that you can boil a frog in water without it jumping out when you gradually increase the temperature. The fable goes that the frog does not have the internal models to recognize that there is a change in the water temperature. A cold-blooded creature like the frog is thought to have its temperature regulated only by the external environment.
