“Who cares?” Well, the people who need to pay the people developing the endgame for everything you speak of.

I'm sorry, but this makes no sense to me.

The people paying for the development of the AGI can mean many things - the Google customers/users, Alphabet as a company, the executives throwing money at the problem?

Either way, I don't really get your point. Your initial post was about how it is counterintuitive for Google to allocate funds for an AGI, since it makes money out of ads. These are not mutually exclusive, you can have both, but my point is that if you develop an AGI, then you can pretty much "conquer" the world and revenue from ads becomes irrelevant.

How do you think they can conquer the world? How do you foresee governments not restricting a private company’s new powerful tool?
