It all comes down to monetizing that AGI. If it worked on internal projects only and did not need to interact with customers, then your example is likely correct. But if the AGI can become the product and they can sell access to it? They’ll be rich.

They could do that without exposing it as an AGI. They could just quietly replace entire teams of customer service people, people that approve home loans, the ones negotiate contracts for shipping cargo. Etc. “We ummmm outsourced it to India.”

For a publicly traded company, the books will eventually tell the tale. But I take your point.

True. Shareholder meetings are boring AF but full of important truth.

An agi could do everything a human can which means no human would earn money anymore.
