*In the second quarter of this year the AI company Anthropic expects to
have an operating PROFIT of $559 million on $10.9 billion in sales. And
during the last 12 months Google, the makers of the AI Gemini, had a PROFIT
of $160.2 billion on sales of $422.5 billion. *

*Curing cancer might be fun, and so would building a Dyson sphere/swarm.
 Of course going extinct might be somewhat less fun.  But the relevant
question is not how much smarter do we need AI to be, but how much smarter
does AI want to be.*
