Less than two measly years ago, OpenAI and Microsoft agreed on a "novel" definition of AGI:
"The two companies reportedly signed an agreement last year stating OpenAI has only achieved AGI when it develops AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits. That’s far from the rigorous technical and philosophical definition of AGI many expect."

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Wednesday that it had
suspended diagnostic testing for a slew of viruses, including for rabies and a group of pox viruses that encompasses smallpox and mpox.
The CDC has provided diagnostic testing for decades,
offering federal testing services for dozens of illnesses to state and local public health laboratories that are unable to do so independently.
The agency began a review of its offered tests in 2024,
