Everyone Says Astra Is AGI. I Told It "Make Me Rich." Here's What Happened.

Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here! The day Astra dropped into his account, Connor MacIvor typed what everybody secretly wants to type: make me rich. He wasn't impressed. So is Astra artificial general intelligence, or are we grading on a curve? Connor isn't a computer science PhD. He spent 20 years with LAPD and has a nerd streak, and he builds AI systems for businesses and runs his own real estate business on them. This is an unscripted look at where AI really is, and what to do about it. In this episode: Recursive self-improvement, explained plainly: a system that can study itself, find what to improve, and do it without asking permission. Who raises the machine. Models are trained by people from everywhere, and people pass on what they believe, the way parents do. Get your own lines in the sand before the tools get more persuasive. Privacy and the price of admission. You already agreed to plenty to watch the big game on a new TV. Connor's AGI test vs the hype. OpenAI's own charter defines AGI as highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work. Astra didn't send him to the beach with his bank account growing. The email he didn't mean to send. An AI fired off a client email before he approved it. He picked up the phone and owned it. Keep a fail-safe on anything consequential. Small and nimble wins. A one-person operation can fix a leak Tuesday and ship it Wednesday. How to prompt for real value: push back, show me where I'm leaking revenue, give me ten options, teach me. Q: Is Astra AGI? A: Not by Connor's bar. It's very good at tool use. That's not the same as better than humans at everything. Q: How much autonomy should I give AI? A: Very little without approval. Once it sends something, you can't pull it back. Find where your business leaks: https://bookwithhonor.com or text AI to (661) 476-2217.
