Most high ranking developers cost around $60 an hour, that's almost $50,000 a

that's why most of the estimates of how much an AGI project would cost, quickly
escalate into the millions and billions.
Isn't it ironic that a project that could theoretically automate all
human labor, currently $70 trillion per year, can't get funding? Are
investors really betting that its odds of success are worse than the
lottery?
This was probably a "rhetorical" question - but plenty of machine intelligence
research *is* funded. IARPA, DARPA, NSA, search engines, hedge funds, etc.
Of course, those who don't get funding are likely to make more complaining
noises about the topic.
