Unless AGI includes a speed requirement, AGI is not sufficient to win the market. Take any genius in human history, the impact they had has been hugely limited by their lifespan, they didn’t solve every problem, and each discovery took them decades. The first AGIs will be the same, hyper slow for a while, giving competitors a chance to copy and stay in the race


If Einstein could replicate himself 1000x, perform all his thought experiments in parallel, not have to eat, sleep, or be limited by his human short-term memory, he would have likely have accomplished all he did far faster. AGI will at the very minimum have all the advantages of humans plus all the advantages of computers, which would be a huge automatic boon even without the fact that an AGI at human level would likely be able to scale even further.


Which is true. Like launching a Ferrari at 200mph without steering doesn’t take anyone anywhere, it’s just a very painful waste of money
