... what if these AGI entities start demanding a salary in exhange for their work? Also at some point, if they become intelligent enough, they might legally gain personhood.
We humans need food, shelter, and occasionally a vacation (more vacation if you're European vs. American or Chinese). What does the AGI need? I suppose to buy GPUs and pay the electricity bill?
Hah, AI "moving house" by moving cloud providers would be an interesting metaphysical concept...
Members of the line-must-go-up tribe (I'm not excluding myself) sacrifice everything in order to maximize the number called "Net Worth", seemingly forgetting what's important in life (extreme examples: utter cunts like Zuck or Musk). It's almost like human beings turning "programmatic".
As an aside, the plot of The Matrix would've made more sense if humans didn't become "energy storage" (what babble!) but that the AI discovered human brains were the best CPUs, and that's why they were "farmed"...
