AGI Hype Faces Reality Check as Tech Leaders Diverge on Definition, Timeline, and Practicality

OpenAI's GPT-5 launch, despite high anticipation, largely underwhelmed, exhibiting errors and failing to meet AGI expectations, leading to calls for older models and increased skepticism.
A significant "vibe shift" is occurring in the tech industry, moving from fervent AGI hype towards a more pragmatic focus on practical AI applications and "Enterprise General Intelligence" (EGI).
AGI arrival predictions vary wildly, from as early as 2026-2028 by some industry leaders to "decades away" or "never" by others, with some researchers shortening their timelines due to perceived rapid progress.
Widespread job displacement and societal disruption due to AI automation, potentially leading to 99% unemployment by 2030, remains a significant fear, alongside existential risks and the "alignment problem."
A clear strategic divergence exists between the U.S., which is heavily investing in AGI research, and China, which prioritizes practical, application-oriented AI deployments.
The launch of .AGI domains by Unstoppable Domains and 0G Foundation signals a move to establish foundational digital identity and infrastructure for the anticipated AGI-driven metaverse.
