It feels like Christmas morning already! The OpenAI o3 release a few hours ago was significant, and moved my AGI countdown up to 88%.

I can't believe that we started the year with AGI countdown at 64% and now we are already at 88%. Looks like 2025 will be a historic year.
We are at the edge. Your comments and thoughts would be so valuable.
In the US Musk is probably thinking of feeding Fed data and laws into the Collosus.
You know the Mangeone case, an AI kid on the cusp who snapped.
What can you, let's say with AI help, make of all this?
