A post says AGI could unlock far more resources on Earth than humans expect

The post argues that the current AI moment changes the old assumption of “we’ll just build it here.”
Its core claim is that if AGI becomes capable enough, it could discover or unlock far more resources on Earth than humans currently expect — framed here as “billions of Earth’s” worth of opportunity. The post is more of a sweeping AGI-era thesis than a product or model update.
