If Sam genuinely believed that AGI (assumption: capable of achieving some sort of singularity, or at least being capable enough to replace x% of human knowledge workers) would materialize in the near future, why would he then invest any time or money into these YC companies, given that most of them, if not all, would be made completely obsolete by such a technology?

Occam's razor would imply that he is simply encouraging future YC batches to build products on top of OAI products, with "AGI" being some sort of multi modal GPT.
