Standing in a Munich terminal that could swallow a football field, I saw it: every bolt, every signpost, every line of code exists downstream of human wanting. Which means the AGI fantasy, building something that finally escapes us, is structurally impossible. Whatever we make will be saturated with our envy, our greed, our beautiful and terrible desire, reflected back at scale. The mirror is the menace. And the pathway out was never going to run through silicon.
