To Hell With AGI Lets Solve DCT

• We obsess over AGI benchmarks—calculus, poetry, StarCraft—while robots can't handle the mundane task that haunts us weekly: changing a duvet cover.

• The Duvet Cover Test (DCT) exposes what matters: navigating unfamiliar homes, identifying beds, finding covers, matching them contextually, and solving the corner-alignment problem that makes PhDs weep.

• A robot passing DCT could do laundry, clean kitchens, help elderly dress, prepare meals. Meanwhile, our "thinking machines" excel at abstraction but fail at the physical world's friction and complexity.

• Here's the cosmic irony: after building AGI that outthinks us, we'll still be the ones changing duvet covers. We become the hands. The actuators. The robots' robots.

• The civilization that solves DCT—that handles the mundane, infuriating, physical reality of existence—will be the one actually ready for the future. Until then, we're building oracles who can't move a couch.
