huh? are you disputing that AGI would create unprecedented amounts of value?

"any existing company" only implies about $1T of value. that's like 1 year of indonesia's output. that seems low to me, for creating potentially-immortal intelligent entities?

Nobody can front-run the field of artificial intelligence, progress is too incremental, slow, and insanely well-funded by Google, Facebook, Baidu, and Microsoft. Not to mention the source of so many improvements coming from CMU, Stanford, Berkeley, MIT, and that's just in the US.

You nailed it. Anyone who thinks they're out in front of this industry just because they believe with all their heart their abstract word-salad mission statement belongs to a cult.
