Lemme translate this for you. When they say that the definition of an “AGI” is that it will generate “$100 billion in profits,” what they really mean is that they want “AGI” in order to avoid paying $100 billion to employees.

If you look at every investment in “AI” as the ruling ownership class trying to find a way to make profit without having to pay actual people, all of their enthusiasm begins to make sense.

AGI won’t exist. It can’t. At least, not in my lifetime. But after the inevitable bubble pops, we should never forget how these rich assholes burned their fortunes and our planet trying to make it happen.

@fraying it is complicated. We can all write AGI today, but it will take a very slow time to develop into something that can work. And that is the crux - why develop AGI if you would only need for complicated decisions in very rare cases who can be handed to humans anyway?

As for corporations being led by blind, greedy sociopaths, I did not need reminder for that :)

@fraying It's so stupid because we already know how to do that. They're busy trying to automate the bullshit work that's not even work, just excuses to burn VC to motivate another round of it. Meanwhile the way you make money without paying people is advanced manufacturing tech. CNC factories with only a few humans overseeing everything. China knows this shit and the US biz class is wanking over fooling each other & themselves with chatbots.
