I have a better proposal to exploit this.

Build an AGI system smart enough to do the work of a "think tank" (your example). Have it do lots of demo work and prove it's measurably better than the human competition.

Sell the service. Why would you sell the actual AGI architecture/weights or hardware? Sell the milk not the cow lol.

AI/AGIs will probably always be 'rented' except for open source ones that you can 'own' by downloading.

There are many ways to exploit it. The question is... Are we just gonna let that happen? Or are we going to demand that AGI is democratized? The history of the world so far is unfortunately not on our side. The means of production have always belonged to the rich. AGI will be the ultimate "means of production" if you wanna call it that. Will the rich get richer or will AGI solve inequality too?

Find out on the next episode of "capitalism vs AI"

I just mean "how do I make my money back and pay back the investors".

If we want a democratized AI we vote and get the government to pay for the compute and services of all those rockstars. The compute costs (which will likely soar into the sky, later systems this decade will probably burn billions in compute just to train) mean this isn't supportable by an open source model.
