Reply to comment by Surur in What is your opinion of what is going to happen between AGI and Singularity. by CertainMiddle2382

$200 a day for an AGI would be so dirt cheap comparatively that it would annihilate the entire jobmarket overnight. One AGI can replace dozens of people, if not much more. Even if the hardware alone costs $50k and the upkeep is $1000 a day for your own AGI, it would still be considered dirtcheap.

You need to consider that an AI "thinks" vastly faster than us in pretty much every conceivable way, i am talking a factor of 1000 times faster here, minimum. It could replace every single employee in a bank for example and it would be unbelievably more efficient at doing the work than even the best human team of workers in the history of banking.

I think you are thinking of an ASI while I am thinking of an AGI.

I think you're scaling AGI differently. It's human-level intelligence, but with all the advantages of a computational platform.

ASI is beyond human comprehension. It's a transcendent AI, a digital god, not ChatGPT+sapience.
