None of this would be necessary if they thought they were actually anywhere near AGI...hmm.
They'll have to find a smarter species to emulate first. My money's on the octopus!
Turns out, just like the Turing test, its easier to dumb down intelligent expectations than to improve intelligence.
AGI makes a lot better argument if everyone is in idiocracy.
What if their AGI/ASI told them the road to Humanity betterment (because you know that was OpenAI initial mission, just in case we forgot) was through more efficient ads ? /s
Disagree, they need a lot of capital in the next couple years, and the more revenue they have today, the more data centers they can start building.
Also investors (particularly non-AGI-pilled) want to see revenue number go up, regardless of AGI. This juices the IPO.
