Didn't random companies add block chain to their names only just a few years ago and get 30+% jumps in stock price immediately?

That’s quite different, BlockChain was a buzzword label for existing tech. AGI is a label for something we famously haven’t achieved, and which would be revolutionary if we had.
This seems more like calling your spaceship company, I dunno, “Interplanetary Passengers” or something.
AGI is a buzzword too, it's just differently applied.
In this case it's a word that means the thing we're all developing towards apparently, but that no one actually knows how to get or even how to measure whether or not we've already gotten it , and no one really knows what will happen when it's achieeved, if it hasn't already been.
It's a bit like an even wackier more-corporate version of The Quest for the Holy Grail.
And the honest one true test for "is it a buzzword?" : Did a corporate group brand a flagship with it?
"RISC architecture is going to change everything!"
Or naming one of your launch vehicles “Starship”.
> Just because the stock goes up doesn't mean anyone was tricked. People invest in sentiment, in momentum, in all kinds of second order effects.
Wouldn’t those second order effects be downstream of the first order effect of people being tricked?
Run trading bot looking for news feeds with specific terms. Buy stocks based on this. Understand your fellow humans are lazy and stupid. If you can’t read past the first word of a news article maybe that person shouldn’t be allowed to trade stocks.
