I think about this a lot. Is it possible AGI does already exist in a form too primitive for it to even know it is at work? Is it possible that the internet is "alive" and moving all of humanity toward a goal that it is not even yet aware? If so and aware or not, how does it see us now? Perhaps it is too large and complex an organism now, that we are so much a part of it, that we can not zoom out far enough to see it has already taken control? I take as evidence the radical ways the entire world seems to be now split politically. We can not agree on anything universally. Despite all the things that history told us were necessary to become an equitable world, mostly the ability to communicate with anyone in an instant, learn and understand everything, instead of "becoming one" we have resorted to the most savage forms of tribalism. Is there not perhaps a force at work unknown to all where our technology already is working to wipe us out by isolating our gene pools? Fun to think about. I am working on a singularity story book. https://medium.com/tales-from-the-singularity
