I just learned, while in a Wikipedia rabbit hole, about the Ashley Treatment, part of which involves pre-emptive closing of growth plates.

He was killed by, if memory serves, a foot infection, being unable to properly fight it as a direct result of his height. So, you can see where I'm going with this.

And yes, I know it wasn't invented until like 40 years after he was born.

Is there any actual material difference between what they're describing (the computer equivalent of a philosophical zombie, I would say), and a true agi? Their point seems rather vacuous to me (all I did was read the Wikipedia article).
