Yeah, but at that point is the company that developed the superintellegence really relevant any more? Doesn't the superintellegence take over and capture all the value for itself? If the concept of 'value' even has the same meaning any more. In truth at that point the foundations of our economic system have been profoundly reconfigured. Your VC investments may be completely irrelevant.
Depends on whether it's a fast or slow takeoff and the control problem. Both are open questions.
Personally I think we're in the midst of a slow take-off because AI researchers and IT support for them are all using AI. That gives companies plenty of time to get a wild valuation from having a baby superintelligence.
