People like Altman and Musk sold this AGI idea to CEOs like Nadella and Zuckerberg. People assume that if you’re a CEO you must be smart, it’s the exact opposite! There’s no positive correlation between brain capacity and success in the corporate ladder. The most verified correlation is with traces of psychopathy which associate with lack of empathy and reasoning.
In sum, con men sold snake oil to overconfident imbeciles and now there’s a hole the size of trillions in the US’s pension system.
I also like how a lot of that Western investment hinges on the companies having the best model and keeping it secret so they maintain the lead. China (or others) only needs to release a good enough model as open source in order to invalidate the entire business model.
Not that this matters much, those companies are so focused on showing any kind of progress, they bin their own models way before making back even a fraction of the investment. Only for customers to go meh any time a new one releases. Or have it be a little bit better, but much more expensive to run.
It would actually be funny, if it hadn’t raised prices on anything tech related and will probably crash the economy any day now.
We’re also desperate to lock up or deny visas to anyone that isn’t “American enough” so the best and brightest youths from around the world are probably going to study in China instead.

Good. I hate Sam Altman.
Good, we shouldn’t even be thinking about LLMs. Let alone who has a “lead” on the slop machines.
Don’t interact with it.
Don’t look at it.
Don’t even think about it.
You act like a scooby-doo villain. You try to scare people away so they don’t investigate themselves.
Paraphrasing Yann Lecun:
“nobody has the monopoly on good ideas”
