0:00.0	Amazon makes a contingent offer to put $35 billion into Open AI,
0:07.0	based upon them, first off going public and secondly achieving AGI.
0:11.0	It's kind of incredible that we've financialized super intelligence, which is amazing.
0:16.0	The Open AI to Microsoft definition of AGI was something like generating $100 billion in either earnings or revenue, I forget.

1:30.2	But let's do our best.
1:32.7	Yes.
1:33.2	We need to actually move faster and faster and faster, just like the singularity itself
