During the pre-AGI interim, people have got to make money and to enjoy life to various degrees (which depends on the individuals). Right now you're not solving the problem of organizing people to build an AGI and rewarding them -- without interim-term rewards, people's incentive may diminish, so that'd not be an optimal way of organizing people. Also, a future AGI cannot go back in time to reward us during the interim -- and we're talking about anything from 5 years (not very likely) to decades. Anyone who doesn't spot this is doing time travels.
