Crazy how a philosophical idea about intelligence can turn into a billion-dollar industry practically overnight.

1. Get VC money to download almost the whole Web 2. ... 3. Profits! ;-) We better have at least one Human Intelligence company that will do the same for humans (non-profit and for education, Grokipedia on steroids): And we'll have 8 billion max-intelligent humans in no time, I'm not kidding, check my profile link

Billion dollar bets on compute are less about ROI and more about ideology disguised as strategy

The cult of AGI runs deep.

Myth fuels markets.

Most speaking people about AI didn't even try it. Should they do - they would see completely another problem. Tales about quick vibe coding is shit. You can spend hours trying to do a very simple task and repeatedly receive the same (and wrong) result. AI is the myth.

Faith in AGI has always been as much about ideology as technology. The danger is when belief blinds leaders and investors to the limits, tradeoffs, and unintended consequences. Real progress will come from questioning the mythology, not worshipping it.

The AGI narrative has become a convenient justification for burning through billions. Wonder if we're funding technological progress or just an expensive theology.

Massive compute investment for AGI drives generalized model development. Real operational leverage in enterprise, however, stems from specialized agentic systems, enabling context-aware automation like O-mega.ai's platforms for specific workflows.
