Here's something nobody talks about when hyping AGI: raw computational power and so-called "super intelligence" aren't gonna cut it in the real world. Not even close.



Why? Web2 is this chaotic multiplayer game where humans, corporations, and algorithms are constantly battling for resources, attention, and profit. It's messy, unpredictable, and full of friction. An AGI trying to navigate that? It needs way more than processing speed—it needs to understand incentives, power dynamics, and the irrational behavior baked into every layer of our digital economy.

Compute alone is just horsepower. But surviving in the wild? That requires street smarts.

ngl, this really hits the spot. That flashy computational power stuff has been outdated for a long time... The real issue is that AGI needs to learn humanity, and that's the biggest variable.

ngl, that's a really good point. No matter how much computing power you stack up, it's useless if you don't understand human nature. The rules of the game in web2 are just too complicated.

ngl, computing power is just a paper tiger; the real rules of the game are all about human nature. What's the use of AGI knowing algorithms? --- street smarts vs brute force, Web3 has already proven this point --- So in the end, it's still those who know how to play politics who win; technology just plays a supporting role. --- Sounds like you're saying being smart ≠ being successful, you have to know how to deal with people. --- That's an interesting perspective, but it'll be dangerous the day AGI learns the tricks of human nature.

NGL, compute power is like having a sports car but not being able to drive it on Beijing's roads, you know what I mean?

Now this is the real issue. Do you really think just piling on raw computing power can handle the Web2 stuff? The risk control mechanisms haven't even been clarified yet—where do you account for the liquidation risks...
