I love how in the slide with "It was the goose that created value", the goose has its wings raised. The goose is ... triumphant. Ascendant. Its arc is complete: after being valued at $0, the goose is recognized for the inexhaustible source of value it is. The goose is vindicated.
And finally, in the denouement, we see the goose in serene repose. "It is the Goose itself," we are told, in bold, confident lettering. This is what matters. Not the eggs.
I hope lasagnacat can come back, do a special on this, and hire John Barrymore for the narration, as a spiritual sequel to their Pipe Strip video (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NAh9oLs67Cw).
So like, this is one of those Spherical Cows in physics, where the theory ignores everything about the externalities and focuses just on some random equation in physics. Just like the idea that we could mine asteroids for $quadrillions$ so we should invest in asteroid mining.
For AGI, the only way it's actually profitable is if you're a sociopath who uses it for enslavement of the human race; just like the valuations of AI assume _everyone_ would be the "total addressable market". Just pure psychopathy with no reason.

Then notice that the metal construction robot needs toe protectors on its boots.
Then notice that the slides have small print.

His sense of humor has only reached new heights since then.
