> this type of stuff really makes me doubt their AGI claims, why would they bother with this stuff if they were confident of having AGI within the next few years?

because AGI doesn't grow in a cage, it requires a piece of software running somewhere. someone has to build both to get that happen. that is like a high school level question.

Theoretically it only requires it for birth. One can argue that once we achieve the singularity, it could immediately scale on its own as it decides.

even if this is true, someone needs to build the platform and the software required to get to the singularity.

one can also argue that lots of $ is required to get to the singularity, taking control of how the world builds, deploys and operates the digital world is a proven avenue to get such $.
