Thanks. I also address the “get rich” point though! People can’t get rich from it AGI because they lose control of it (/the world ends) before they get rich. AGI is not that useful either, because it’s uncontrollable and has negative externalities that will come back and swamp any hoped for benefits, even for the producer (i.e. x-risk).
Assumptions of wealth generation, economic abundance and public benefit from AGI are ungrounded without proof that they are even possible—and they aren’t (yet), given a lack of scalable-to-ASI solutions to alignment, misuse, and coordination. A stop isn’t taking away the ladder to heaven, for such a ladder does not exist, even in theory, as things stand.
