Here i think it's more about opportunity cost.

What i ask of an AGI is to not hallucinate idiotic stuff. I don't care about being bullshitted too much if the bullshit is logic, but when i ask "fix mypy errors using pydantic" and instead of declaring a type for a variable it invent weird algorithms that make no sense and don't work (and the fix would have taken 5 minutes for any average dev).I mean, Claude 4.5 and Codex have replaced my sed/search and replaces, write my sanity tests, write my commit comment, write my migration scripts (and most of my scripts), and make refactor so easy i now do one refactor every month or so, but if it is AGI, i _really_ wonder what people mean by intelligence.

100% agree. Pleas Altman, Ilya and other, i will hapilly let you use whatever money you want if that money is taken from war profiteers and warmongers.
