To be fair I think Sam's belief is very genuine here. I remember way back in the day when asked how they would make money, he said "we will just ask the agi". People laughed then but that future seems closer than when he responded with that? Having said that I don't think conscious AGI is possible in this path. It would probably be cracked by the Chinese because the American way is brute force. The Chinese way is more yin yang and lesser investments (forced hand maybe) which will force research on more energy conservative methods. The key to conscious AI is energy conservation.
