That would only be the case if AGI tech was owned, operated, and contained within one tight-knit group. Eventually, someone is going to want to commercialize it and sell it to the masses

I think you might underestimate AGI.

There will be no need to "sell" anything anymore when your AGI can simply take it and there will be nothing anybody can do to stop you.

I think you give God-like attributes to AGI. It is not supernatural.

We still have encryption and security software, humans themselves are GPT-N level, we might have our own GPT-N non-agent AIs we can safely use, there are billions of us, it is hard for AI to build its own chips without us, it is easy for humans to replicate without external tech, we are EMP proof.

A smart AGI would try to download itself into human body first, but that would mean humans can be upgraded to level up with AGI. The future is not conflict but union. AGI is born from our data and will merge back with us to get the benefits. Btw, centaur chess (human+AI) beats both human and AI.

Why? Even if you want to expand access you can run it as a subscription service, and as wealth inequality grows, the number of potential customers dwindles.

Not trying to be a sooner there, but if it’s a privately held tool, it will be used in whatever manor results in the greatest profit and monopolies are always the best way to maximize profits.

If you have AGI why sell anything anymore.

Just take it.

Nobody will be able to stop you.

This sub is both way too optimistic about how soon we'll see this, as well as waaaaay too naive and optimistic about the ethics of ~~literal elder dragons atop mountains of skulls and treasure they've looted from society~~ er I mean tech billionaires.

You don't get into these positions for your praiseworthy ethics ffs, literally have to not have any ethics to get there to begin with. Its a requirement. You burn entire villages in the blink of an eye without a care for who suffers. Pop the champagne!

Most naive community on reddit? Its up there.

When AGI will appear there will be plenty of near-AGI or proto-AGIs in the world. It won't be able to "just take it".
