@sun @leyonhjelm @mischievoustomato AGI is simply the last scam of this morphology:

identify a market that is unlimited. Convince investors that, since the market is unlimited, the return on investment will be effectively infinite and they should pump money into you endlessly to get infinite money out of you. This works 100% of the time because people who work in boring jobs like finance are universally retarded, since anyone more intelligent would be doing something more fun with their time. You then hire all your friends, promote them, and then all quit the company to use your new engineering level as proof that you deserve a job from a competing company. Then you all take the jobs with the competitor and leave the company holding the bag
