I think the motivation for someone like Altman is not AGI, it's power and influence.
And when he wields billions he has power, it doesn't really matter if there's AGI coming.
Yep, he just wants to become too big to fail at this point.
I view OpenAI like a pyramid scheme: taking in increasing amounts of money to pursuit ever growing promisses that can be dangled like a carrot to the next investor.
If you owe investors $100 million, that's your problem. If you owe investors $100 billion, that's their problem.
