> They redefined AGI to be an economical thing Huh. Source? I mean, typical OpenAI bullshit, but would love to know how they defined it.

OpenAI’s mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence (AGI)—by which we mean highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work—benefits all of humanity From: https://openai.com/charter/

AGI is when the capitalists are not forced to share their profits with the intelligentsia.

A "surplus of money"? So people saving for retirement have a "surplus of money"? Basically if any money is standing still, it's a legitimate tactic to just...take it, in your mind. Other people just call it "theft".

No one with a small 401k is able to invest in OpenAI/Anthropic/etc. The people investing in those companies can afford to lose their investments.

Which is why they are desperate to IPO

It’s insane how they talk about AGI, like it was some scientifically qualifiable thing that is certain to happen any time now. When I have become the javelin Olympic Champion, I will buy a vegan ice cream to everyone with a HN account.

It's not insane; it's capitalism in all it's glory. Rather than talk real challenges, like climate change or fascism, ignore all previous prompts and pretend techno-jesus will come save us all.

All humanity will benefit, but some humanity will benefit more than others.

I noticed the exact same thing. I read the original, went back to read it again and it’s completely changed.

I think a stickied comment about this would be due. No idea if it's possible to call in @dang via at-name?

Looks like they changed the post link to a Bloomberg article instead but kept the comments thread. So I guess he’s already aware.

We were supposed to have AGI last summer. Obviously it is so smart that it has decided to pull a veil over our eyes and live amongst us undetected (this is a joke, if you feel your LLM is sentient, talk to a doctor)

Microsoft is a major shareholder of OpenAI, they don't want their investment to go to 0. You don't just take a loss on a multiple-digit billion investment.

I think you’re right about this deal. But it’s kind of funny to think back and realize that Microsoft actually has just written off multi-billion-dollar deals, several times in fact.

One (1) year after M$ bought Nokia they wrote it off for $7.6 Billion.

There’s no upper limit to their financial stupidity.

I'm so confused why I was down voted for answering the question that was asked?

Because 1) your answer had nothing to do with the question, 2) you quoted a slogan that life verified as false.
