Earning back the 7T with god/satan on your side could be trivial and at the same time the least of your worries for other reasons (maybe god doesn't like you and/or doesn't care about you).
I can't see the current state of technology, because I'm not in OpenAI's closed labs.
Also "we" don't have to spend any money. Sam is spending it. This is not about us.
This is delusional. Nobody has demonstrated AI that can even match the output that human creativity has accomplished in the past 5 years. It will take an awful long time before it's up there alongside humans, and by the time it surpasses us we'll both be long dead.
If you're not just being performative for a joke here, then I don't even know how I can explain how wrong you are. All of this - the promises of "AGI", the bajillion-dollar meme order sent to TSMC, the cryptic sama tweets in lowercase - it's performance art. It's unsubstantiated, nondilineated, unproven, unstudied nonsense. That's it. I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings, the crypto bros had to go through this a few months ago and it was tough for them too. But the dividends have to be paid, and in a few years time your "$7 trillion dollar" intellectual property empire will be sand.
Your post reads a bit like that nobel prize winner who in the 90's said the internet would become similar marginal technology as fax machines. Just because nobody had demonstrated any revolutionairy use case for it at the time.
We went from barely having computers and no significant internet to what we have today in 30 years.
"We'll be long dead", yeah maybe if we don't die of old age.
It's not that hard.
You know that to many, you are the delusional one if you think that some fictional number in a screen is more important than this glorified autocomplete technology that has the potential to revolutionize humanity as much as agriculture, electricity and the internet.
