Hijacking this thread to share a very unpopular opinion: It requires an entity with the amount of resources, tech, talent and data they have to develop an AGI and eventually ASI. I personally would prefer them to develop it, than say Amazon. Or worse Tencent or Baidu i.e an authoritarian government. This has been Larry and Sergey's motivation from the get go. This is obviously naive but I believe the ad machine and the power and money that came of it is only a means to an end. A real AI has always been the target. Yes an open source consortium like OpenAI would be better but that is honestly not realistic. Who knows, it might go the way of Kubernetes and TensorFlow. Open source the framework and offer the best service to run it on. Unless there is a massive war on the horizon this development is inevitable. There are downsides, as with all powerful tech. But in 300 years humanity might live in post-scarcity society and finally be done with the fear and hate for each other that comes with inequality. Sorry for the emotional rant. This is blind optimism. I prefer to life like this. But we might of course also end up in a Blade Runner/Resident Evil/1984 type situation. Generally looking forward to your opinions.
