It's certainly something to think about . . .

If we ever get to a Star Trek the Next Generation level of AI, entire sectors are probably finished.

  • Task Automation: AGI would be able to automate complex tasks, reducing the need for specialized human labor and replacing many roles that startups rely on.
  • Efficiency and Cost Reduction: AGI would probably operate more efficiently and at a lower cost than human-led startups, making it difficult for startups to compete.
  • Superior Problem-Solving: With advanced problem-solving abilities, AGI can outperform startups in innovation and solutions development. GPT-4 looks likes it outperforming many humans today!
  • Market Dominance: AGI-driven companies can quickly dominate markets by leveraging superior data processing and decision-making capabilities. GPU's and data centers will be crucial factor.
  • Scalability: AGI can scale operations rapidly without the constraints of human resource management, outpacing startups' growth potential. AGI would radically less resources than humans, since it could use pure electricity.
  • Resource Optimization: AGI can optimize resources better than startups, leading to higher productivity and reduced waste. Google Deepmind is already optimizing data center costs!
  • Customer Experience: AGI can provide highly personalized and efficient customer service, surpassing the capabilities of startup teams.
  • Reduced Entry Barriers: AGI can lower barriers to entry for new ventures, increasing competition and potentially rendering many startups redundant. Its reduces the need for human labor.
  • Rapid Adaptation: AGI can swiftly adapt to market changes and technological advancements, outpacing startups' ability to pivot. 
  • Innovation Supremacy: Continuous self-improvement and learning capabilities of AGI can lead to relentless innovation, overshadowing startup innovations.

But of course that's a big IF WE GET AGI!!

But we might be closer than you might think!
