Yes it does! It has been said that the goal is to -give- everyone access to super intelligence. Don’t think any of the AI biggies have said that they do this to get rich

Ai is nothin near a super intelligence so actually they have just been lying this whole time and the actual reason was to get rich.

Where is this super intelligence? All I see are a bunch of tech bros gaslighting investors, managers, and the occasional Lemmy poster.
