OpenAI Says AGI Has Arrived. Now What?

OpenAI just declared that AGI has arrived, launching GPT-6 Astra five days ago with materials calling it the start of the "AGI era." Jackson Mikalic, Michael Tanguma, Liam Nelson, and Brian Cubellis put four stories on the clock: what GPT-6 Astra means for jobs and the labor market, Norway's $2.3 trillion sovereign wealth fund proposing to cut its US Treasury holdings while institutional money managers rebuild gold positions, the demographic milestone of people over 65 now outnumbering children under five worldwide for the first time in recorded history, and a housing market where sellers can't sell and buyers can't get help with their mortgages. Where's the signal, and where's the noise?
