> They redefined AGI to be an economical thing

Huh. Source? I mean, typical OpenAI bullshit, but would love to know how they defined it.

Around the end of 2024, it was reported that OpenAI and Microsoft agreed that for the purposes of their exclusivity agreement, AGI will be achieved when their AI system generates $100 billion in profit: https://techcrunch.com/2024/12/26/microsoft-and-openai-have-...

Wow. Maybe they spelled it out as aggregate gross income :P.

Yea, seems like this was stage setting for them to exit. They were already trying to break the deal then. So, I feel like that is lawyers find a way to bend whatever to get out of the deal.

Companies that have created "AGI":

Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, NVIDIA, Samsung, Intel, Cisco, Pfizer, UnitedHealth , Procter & Gamble, Berkshire Hathaway, China Construction Bank, Wells Fargo, ...

Those were all achieved by "GI".

For some definition of Artificial this holds perfectly

A self-running massive corporation with no people that generates billions in profit, no matter what you call it, would completely upend all previous structural assumptions under capitalism

So no human on Earth is intelligent by that metric.

That's a relevent aspect of the AGI concept.

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

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

red-iron-pine12d ago

i am highly skeptical "all" of humanity will benefit, and many will have extreme negatives.

if you think drone targeting in Ukraine is scary now, wait until AGI is on it...

ditto for exploiting vulns via mythos

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.

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

"OpenAI has only achieved AGI when it develops AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits."

Given that the definition of AGI is beyond meaningless, it is clear that the "I" in AGI stands for IPO.
