If AGI was around the corner, they wouldn’t have to resort to what some consider a scummy way to make money. They’d would become the most valuable company on the planet, winning the whole game. Ads show you they don’t know what else to do but they desperately need money.

yes but if AGI is around the corner, with what would they make money then?

Selling this AGI to a state actor? OK - this seems realistic, but for how many billions then? 100b per year?

Thats what I meant.

How should Chatgpt survive then?
