What I'm missing is the connection between AGI & profitability. OpenAI has huge revenues from ChatGPT which look set to continue - they're distinct from cryptocurrency in that those invested in them are so on a service provision basis rather than a speculation basis.

I'm thoroughly unconvinced we'll ever see AGI - I see zero connection between that and OpenAI being successful.




Yep, AI doesn't need to be AGI to be profitable or useful.

I am bullish on AI but don't see AGI happening, yet I developed AI solutions that solved real world problems, and made companies tons of money and helped people solve non-AI, non-IT problems.

So, I never buy the AI-crypto-equivalence.
