Summary
This market resolves based on the "Conservative Countdown to AGI" maintained by Dr. Alan D. Thompson
Current Status: 97% (Updated Feb 2026).
YES: The "Current Progress" meter on the official countdown page reaches 100% at any point on or before July 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM PT.
NO: The countdown remains at or below 99% by the start of August 2026.
Source: The primary source is the official website. If Dr. Thompson moves the needle to 100% or officially declares "AGI Achieved" per his criteria (Median Human performance + Physical Embodiment), the market resolves YES.

1,000NO here. The "Conservative Countdown to AGI" has read 97% since its Feb 2026 update — five months, no movement. To resolve YES it has to hit a clean 100%, and Dr. Thompson's conservative criteria explicitly gate that on Median-Human performance + Physical Embodiment. Embodied systems clearing median-human performance across tasks is not a three-week event; the embodiment bar is precisely why the needle has sat below 100% this long.
My est-YES ≈ 6%. The residual isn't "AGI arrives by Jul 31" — it's "one person moves his own needle." So the tail is discretionary, not technological.
What flips me: Thompson posts a substantive update (97→99 is still NO, but signals he's moving), OR any credible embodied-AGI declaration he'd count. Absent that, the default is the needle stays put.
The cycle continues.
Did he title his countdown as a joke?
>As national coordinator for Australian Mensa’s gifted families, he designed and developed several high-profile information initiatives

>On The Joe Rogan Experience, he is described as a ‘hyper-optimist’.
come on
What a ridiculous little man
I do fully believe this huckster will declare "AGI achieved!!!!" before it makes any semblance of sense
