 AGI isn’t happening.

LLMs are not the path there, these companies are not going to build it, NVIDIA can overtake Gold and it will make no difference.

This “generation” of AI will not result in AGI.

The “productivity miracle” which they’re going to print like crazy for, will never eventuate and just be the bubble to end all bubbles. It will be great for Bitcoin on the backend as AI will fund huge digital infrastructure expansions which end up useless.

Maybe you’ll live to see AGI, but it won’t be this decade or this development cycle. It may disrupt some things and augment some jobs but this is not the real deal.

We don’t know what a world with AGI will look like, we do know what a world with bubbles and overblown tech looks like though. 

Plan accordingly.
