AGI Builders vs Podcasters: $500B vs Firing the Video Editor

Description

A two-character wojak comic at a bar table. Left, labeled 'PEOPLE BUILDING THE AGI': a gaunt, exhausted, balding wojak with dark eye circles wearing headphones, smoking over an ashtray, saying 'Give me 2 years and another $500b.' Right, labeled 'PEOPLE PODCASTING ABOUT PEOPLE BUILDING THE AGI': a comfortable bearded podcaster wojak with glasses and a headset mic, surrounded by green wine bottles and a spilled glass of red, asking 'Yeah but when will the models be good enough to get rid of my video editor.' The meme contrasts the existential, capital-burning grind of frontier-lab researchers with the commentary economy that orbits them, whose deepest question about superintelligence is trimming one line item from podcast production costs

AGI has no acceptance criteria, but firing the editor somehow made the critical path.
