Is the "frozen weights" paradigm the main bottleneck for AGI?

The repo openly rejects the 'frozen weights' assumption and tries to prototype an assistant that rewires online — you can see the scaffolding in files like autonomous_ai.py, view_graph.py, a configs folder, a streamlit_apps dir and chroma_data. That's an interesting, contrarian direction, but the project is clearly early-stage: the UI and repo layout are tidy, yet there’s little in-repo evidence of benchmarks, experiments, or reproducible results to back the big claim.
