The fine print

Said Aug 31 2026 01:54 UTC (oEmbed author Elon Musk, html dated August 31 2026). Reply to @rauchg. 'End of next year' from Aug 31 2026 is end of 2027. Distinct from #119 (AGI in 2026), #140 (smarter than any single human by end of 2025, missed), and #240 (sum of all human intelligence in ~5 years). This bar is digital-only, not physical ('shaping atoms').
