People like Altman and Musk sold this AGI idea to CEOs like Nadella and Zuckerberg. People assume that if you’re a CEO you must be smart, it’s the exact opposite! There’s no positive correlation between brain capacity and success in the corporate ladder. The most verified correlation is with traces of psychopathy which associate with lack of empathy and reasoning.
In sum, con men sold snake oil to overconfident imbeciles and now there’s a hole the size of trillions in the US’s pension system.
Paraphrasing Yann Lecun:
“nobody has the monopoly on good ideas”
