If AGI happens soon, there’s a decent chance it happens at an existing industry leader.
So one naive answer would be to buy Google (owner of DeepMind, which may be a significant fraction of their company’s value). Maybe also Microsoft: it does AI research, accepts US gov contracts, and has interacted with OpenAI, including buying some rights to GPT.
If you wanted to buy large AI companies, you wouldn’t buy all of Google or Facebook, you’d just try to acquire AI projects. You could ask whether you can spend $20B to get a 1% chance of $2T somehow (options? crypto schemes? A big startup?) but in practice I think if you’re hoping to buy a $2T company, you’re not targeting properly.

Yes. I did that a while ago. But that just gets me more money, and not even a lot of money. I need knowledge and help much more than money.
I don’t even think there’s enough money in all of EA to even get a board seat.
I just meant to buy GOOG shares to gain money.
