Right but that's not interesting to anyone but themselves. So why call it AGI then? Why not just say once the company has made over x amount of money they are split off to a separate company. Why lie and say you've developed something that you might not have developed.

honestly I agree. 100 Billion profit is incredibly impressive and would overtake basically any other software industry in the world but alas it doesn't have anything to do with "AGI". For context, Apple's net income is 90 Billion this year.

I've listened to enough interviews to know that all of AI leaders want this holy grail title of "inventor of AGI" more than anything else so I don't think the definitely will ever be settled collectively until something so mind blowing exists that would really render the definition moot either way.
