This all presumes that OpenAI can get there and further is exclusively in a position to get there.

Most experts I've seen don't see a logical connection between LLM and AGI. OpenAI has all their eggs in that basket.

To the extent LLM are useful, OpenAI arguably isn't even the best at it. Anthropic tends to make it more useful than OpenAI and now Google's is outperforming it on relatively pointless benchmarks that were the bragging point of OpenAI. They aren't the best, most useful, or cheapest. The were first, but that first mover advantage hardly matters when you get passed.

Maybe if they were demonstrating advanced robotics control, but other companies are mostly showing that whole OpenAI remains "just a chatbot", with more useful usage of their services going through third parties that tend to be LLM agnostic, and increasingly I see people select non OpenAI models as their preference.

UBI is not going to win out over soylent green.

Establishment prefers solylent green solution to unneeded slavery for sure. UBI is an obvious winning political platform, even though it does not provide the proponents with maximum political power, the way that bandaids on oligarchist supremacism still allows for supremacism and soylent green to rise as the solution.

Simply, the answer, is to reject establishment politics, including Bernie as controlled opposition proposing nonsense that gets shot down for its stupidity, instead of UBI.

Also, an MIT study released today, said 135m US jobs could be replaced with AI agents.
