Infrastructure gaps stall autonomous AGI takeoff

Production usage of RunLobster agents suggests that infrastructure "connective tissue," not reasoning smarts, is the primary hurdle to autonomous AGI. Real-world deployment reveals a persistent gap in "boring" engineering—OAuth stability, memory consistency, and tool reliability—that model scaling alone cannot bridge.

// ANALYSIS

The "brain in a jar" problem is the true bottleneck for autonomous agents—smarter models can't fix broken API tokens.

–Integration surface area (expired tokens, malformed outputs, async race conditions) causes 85% of failures, not reasoning errors.
–Model scaling cannot bypass the need for mature infrastructure; GPT-7 won't know a token is stale without better error handling.
–AGI timelines are likely shifting toward 2035-2040 as real-world capability scaling fails to match the training compute curve.
–Mature "integration surface" currently beats model intelligence in measurable real-world performance.
