Narrator states the cost (sacrifice) of AGI is to burn fossil fuels in order to discover fusion, expend water to mine asteroid ice, and spend immense capital to build enough data centers to awaken it.

It makes sense that it's definitely something that needs to scale by orders of magnitude. But all that compute is not necessarily funneled into solving the fundamental problems. It goes to anyone with a subscription.

In that case, frontier compute needs to address only frontier problems, pioneering grants, and basic, reproducible science. (Which cannot be funded without the general usage, maybe.)

No point up-voting or down-voting this, already flagged off the site. Possibly triggered a controversy filter? I know the title is provocative, but it is actually the point the video is trying to establish (so it wasn't just ad-hominem).

Perhaps the real mass psychotic delusion is the delusion of mass psychotic delusions in.others.

If only I had the immense courage to warble nonsense in front of a projector displaying clips of pop culture for 20 minutes. Thank god we have such future laureates to do so for us.
