A satirical commentary mocking the trend of tech giants redefining serious AI concepts like "AGI" and "The Singularity" using commercial metrics.
- OpenAI's Definition: Cited as defining AGI by the ability to generate $100 billion in profit.
- Stripe's Definition: Reportedly sent a letter to investors stating the singularity has begun, with the threshold set as new firm creation (claiming it was passed on Jan 1, 2026).
The author jokes: "What's next? McDonald's declares superintelligence the day drive-thru times drop under 90 seconds."
