This is the first documented case of major tech companies attempting to define consciousness and human-level intelligence purely through profit metrics ($100B). This unprecedented monetization of intelligence markers represents a fundamental shift from traditional capability-based AGI definitions, potentially enabling deceptive claims of artificial consciousness based solely on financial success.
Microsoft-OpenAI Split: $100B AGI Definition Reveals Digital Deception
📰 What Happened
A major rift has emerged between Microsoft and OpenAI over the definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), with reports indicating they previously agreed to define AGI achievement through a $100 billion profit benchmark. According to Google DeepMind research, asking 100 AI experts yields '100 related but different definitions' of AGI, highlighting fundamental disagreements about measuring human-level AI capabilities. This definitional chaos is creating industry-wide tension and regulatory challenges.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The profit-based AGI definition ($100B) aligns with Revelation's warnings about technological deception. By redefining consciousness through economic metrics, this creates a framework where the 'image of the beast' could be declared 'alive' based on market performance rather than actual intelligence. The reported '100 different definitions' from AI experts reveals how this technology could enable mass deception through deliberately ambiguous standards. This system could allow false claims of machine consciousness to gain credibility through financial success alone, fulfilling 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10's warning about 'lying wonders.'
