By singularity, I mean AGI that passes the turing test. Which stocks would you buy?

- Underground bunker construction<p>- Space exploration<p>- Anything valuable in end of the world scenarios<p>It&#x27;s only a matter of time before someone harnesses AGI to enslave the planet and declare totalitarian rule. Perhaps even by accident.<p>I haven&#x27;t been able to get this off of my mind lately because it&#x27;s inevitable.<p>Physicists made nuclear things that do amazing things like power all of our refrigerators from hundreds of miles away, but have also killed thousands (Hiroshima) poisoned the environment (Fukushima, Chernobyl) and have essentially made the world a ticking time bomb.<p>AGI and its surrounding technologies are easily 1000x more powerful than nuclear anything, and absolutely will be abused.

Does it matter? In analogy to other types of singularities the technological singularity is commonly defined as a point beyond which predictions about the trajectory of human development aren&#x27;t possible anymore.<p>So, by definition beyond that hypothetical point all bets are off and any prediction is guesswork at best.

None, because if society doesn&#x27;t reach post-scarcity in short order then it&#x27;s a pretty poor excuse for a singularity.

My Personal Fort in Northern Canada with Lots of Solar Panels and Guns, Inc.<p>It&#x27;s a pink sheet stock though and I&#x27;m the only seller. The trading desk is in my car traveling north as fast as I can...

Frankly, it won&#x27;t change my trading strategy one bit as long as real people are involved in the markets, I will continue to speculate, after that we&#x27;ll see...

None. Nothing besides mass and energy would continue to have value beyond that point.

The ones of the company that built the AGI because they&#x27;ll sell many of them.
