The fact that Microsoft and OpenAI define Artificial General Intelligence in terms of profit suggests they're not confident about achieving the real thing:

The two companies reportedly signed an agreement last year stating OpenAI has only achieved AGI when it develops AI systems that can generate at least $100 billion in profits. (Source)

Given this definition, when they say they'll achieve AGI and beyond, they simply mean they'll achieve more than $100 billion in profit. It says nothing about what they expect to achieve technically.

Well that’s a pretty fucking ridiculous definition lol.

This should be its own post. Very interesting. People are not aware of this I think.

I think I saw a post about exactly this.
