#2AGI: Adjusted gross income? That didn’t make sense.
Acronyms in headline are not the place to put them unless it’s very certain the target audience is innately familiar. Guess I’m not that audience.

I agree, and stay in this world too long and all your acronyms will be overloaded. ISA is instruction set architecture ? Income sharing agreement?
Especially when the headline poses a counterfactual/impossible question they should help as much as possible.

How could you forget "Industry Standard Architecture", the bane of my youth?
I once had an old 266 MHz pentium with an ISA network card that was just an absolute nightmare. This was when PCI was dominant and AGP graphics cards had not yet become mainstream, and I guess the ISA drivers just weren't being maintained for Win 98.
I had to go into Control Panel and disable/re-enable the Ethernet adapter about three times an hour, because the connection would simply drop and that was the only rectification that I was savvy enough to attempt.

It would depend on the legality of the situation -- like in Gibson's Neuromancer where a fully-intelligent AI has Swiss citizenship and yet the software and supercomputer it is running on is owned by a corporation -- “Like, I own your brain and what you know, but your thoughts have Swiss citizenship. Sure. Lotsa luck, AI.” as a character puts it.

Everything that computes is probably "just computer processing". I wouldn't be shocked if enough translates that it's not totally useless

Humans have consciousness, which seems like something else related to the physics of our universe. The article hints at AGI having consciousness, but I can't see how that kind of argument can be made.
