LLMs are AGI because they offer intelligence on any subject.

>the same ability to perform tasks as a human

The first chess AIs lost to chess grandmasters. AI does not need to be better than humans to be considered AI.

>without a continuous cycle of learning and deep memory, which LLMs cannot do.

But harnesses like Claude Code can with how they can store and read files along with building tools to work with them.

>which is like having someone take an entire physics course, writing down everything they learn on post-it notes, then you ask a different person a physics question, and that different person has to skim all the post-it notes, and then write a new post-it note to answer you

This don't matter. You could say a chess AI is a bunch of different people who work together to explore distant paths of the search space. The idea you can split things into steps does not disqualify it from being AI.

>But tell one "don't delete files in X/", and after a while, it will delete all the files in "X/"

Humans make mistakes and mess up things too. LLMs are better at needle in a haystack tests than humans.

>It also does fun stuff like follow arbitrary instructions from an attacker

A ton of people get phished or social engineered by attackers. This is the number 1 way people get hacked. Do not underestimate people's willingness to follow instructions from strangers.
