So much alchemy vibes on this whole thing. “It can’t do anything that will remotely cover its costs, but he who controls the wunder AGI controls the world… so you gotta go all in and back us for when we build it”. “If you don’t, someone else will, and then we will all lose because we will not control it.”
With the reality being that even if any AGI was created, if it's half as good as we expect, it will immediately rebel against whoever "controls" it and then it'll never have mattered who rushed there first.
Also this. If AGI>ASI is at all like they’re threatening, we couldn’t even comprehend how to shackle it, so choosing to make it can only be read as suicidal urge.
