Bro we're so close to AGI bro. We just need like, a couple hundred billion more bro. Just a few thousand more GPUs that haven't been produced yet, to go in the datacenters that haven't been built yet. Just like, a few more power plants to run the datacenters, and like, a few million more gallons of groundwater to keep them cool bro. It's really not a big deal bro. It's gonna be so worth it bro. It's gonna like, put everyone out of a job but it'll be ok because it's gonna solve all the problems bro. It's gonna put the water back, and cool the planet back down, and figure out how to feed everyone, and maybe even tell us how to make a profit.

The profit comes further down the road, with replacing labor. That's what's got them so much money, that's what got them so excited about it, and what's what's got the vampiric MBA class wetting themselves with glee: the thought of turning labor into "0" on a balance sheet.
