AGI might be a technological breakthrough, but what would be the business case for it? Is there one?

So far I have only seen it been thrown around to create hype.

The women of the world are creating millions of new intelligence beings every day. I'm really not sure what having one made of metal is going to get us.

Right now the AGI tech bros seem to me to be subscribed to some new weird religion. They take it on faith that some super intelligence is going to solve the world problems. We already have some really high IQ people today, and I don't see them doing much better than anybody else at solving the world's problems.

Exactly.. even if we had an AGI superintelligence, and it came up with a solution to global warming, we'd still have right-wingnuts that stands in the way of any kind of progress. And the story is practically the same for every other problem it could solve - people are still the problem.

Except none of what you wrote is true. Republicans again and again are arrested for pedophilia. Sorry, but the right is the party of pedophilia, not the left. "Pizzagate" was a complete haox, but it seems like you believe in hoaxes?
