The government gets to violate intellectual property in the interest of national security whenever it deems fit.

I take building the first AGI to be in the same category.

If you don't happen to be "the government", it's not exactly in your power to decide that.

It’s in the government’s power to decide that AGI is worth carving out gaping exceptions for. Even for private companies.

If we were to get AGI in a few years, the ends would absolutely justify the means.

All that needs is for someone to demonstrate the viability of AGI in those circumstances.

Is all that holds back AGI the volume of data?

If so, how much data is needed?

All that holds back AGI is probably not the volume of data. We're still missing key discoveries.

But giving an LLM loads of data might turn out to have been a necessary condition on the road to developing AGI.

That's quite the leap. Some don't even think AGI is possible. And some of those that do, don't think LLMs are on the path.

Even if we assume it is, there is a significant amount of non-copyrighted text available to train with.

The difference being ChatGPT needs text that provides value in the ChatGPT product for the general audience.
