My biggest disagree-but-commit position is that the AGI people are deeply and entirely wrong at the foundations about every philosophical question but will still invent the next era of computing. Like the alchemists seeking the philosopher’s stone invented chemistry.

I guess it surprises me that they got ahold of the best math without some deep understanding of WTF is going on. Perhaps the inventors of the mathematics had some sanity?

Not sure why you think the two need be related at all. Literal religion is even worse than AGI philosophically but most of the great scientists and mathematicians were all literally religious. This situation doesn’t bother me or strike me as anomalous or requiring any action.
