again, this comment misses the point
OpenAI and Anthropic for sure have products and that's great.
However, these products are pretty far from a super intelligence.
The bet SSI is making is that by not focusing on products and focusing directly on building a super intelligence, they can leapfrog all these other firms
Now, if you assign any reasonable non zero probability to them succeeding,the expected value of this investment is infinity. It's definitely a very risky investment, but risk and expected value are two different things.
