At some point this century, 90%+ of the most ambitious people on earth will be working to either build or control AGI.

@danfaggella lays out this thesis in his piece on the Ambition Singularity.
Once shaping post-human intelligence becomes the obvious power game, everything else shrinks. Companies. Politics. Wealth. All molehills next to a mountain.
Two paths: build it (innovation) or control who builds it (regulation). Everyone else orbits those two.
The interesting part: the biggest players are already doing this, they just frame it differently.
Example:
If billions of people live and interact inside your ecosystem, that's the richest AI training data on the planet. But you won't say that. You'll say you want to connect people.
Written in 2022. Looking at it now (OpenAI's power struggle, Musk launching xAI, governments racing to regulate), the thesis is playing out.
He ends with: So what do we do about this? I don't really know.
Neither does anyone else.
