The goal is to do what it takes "a lot of employees" to do, not replacing anyone in itself.
->Why not just have the AGI trade markets or make inventions and file patents? I think one of the conditions is 'not telling anyone about your breakthrough yet' - which is the exact premise of a short story Max Tegmark writes in Life3.0 (other than that the book isn't very interesting). What happens in that story is that superintelligence (not AGI) creators first focus on the business of writing software (kind of like copilot), then of creating and producing synthetic media via front companies, and upon the flourishing of these verticals - channel their profits into a variety of public opinion shaping endeavors in media-politics-ngo nexus. As sole proprietor with that kind of breakthrough, I'd perhaps stick to synthetic media. regards, https://muskdeer.blogspot.com/. ---- On Fri, 06 Aug 2021 07:13:34 +0530 Ben Goertzel <[email protected]> wrote ---- Why is "replacing a lot of employees" a useful goal?

I mean, of course the AGI could create a lot of sock puppet identities and dominate Amazon Mechanical Turk etc., but this seems a less interesting alternative...
