AGI will come out of advanced research labs first. They’re not motivated by capitalism. It’s the next stage of the technological curve that starts to be motivated by capitalism.

Our whole society is motivated by capitalism. What do you think is responsible for the people who work in those labs choosing to work there, getting paid, the competition to produce results, the decision to get the degrees they needed to work in the field, the taxpayer money or corporate money that funds them, etc? Do you really think this feat would have been accomplished in the USSR or pre-capitalism China?
Capitalism is not the final economic model for humanity, it’s simply the best one for achieving AGI which will be the final economic model.

Taxation funds them, which is not a capitalist funding model.
