So capital can be redirected to more productive ventures.

Bingo - we can focus on the energy on actually modernizing industries and leveraging the (pretty good) AGI we have rather than racing with each other to incinerate more and more money for little to no gains.

I was talking with someone in a non-tech industry and we have such a long way to go for even decades-old information system improvements. They don't even have basic things like an effective system of record or analytics. They have no way to measure the success of any particular initiative. If revenue is down - they don't really know why, they just randomly change stuff until it hopefully goes back up.
