I thought AI was to help humanity. How do you win the AI race? It's available to everyone. Profits, is that what they're talking about? Guess it's not going to be free.

They're going to patent intelligence? You can't use if you don't buy a license to use it?

Do you win if AI uses up all resources for everything? Who will be left to consume what's produced?

Seems like a giant boondoggle, a Potemkin for that Ages
