Well, the big tech companies will say that AGI will solve everything. It will solve the fusion power. It will design its own super-energy efficient chips. It will cure cancer and fix economy. It will do everything for us. So why do we have to be worried about short-term pain when there is a long-term abundance on the horizon?

On a serious note, achieving AGI will grant OpenAI/Microsoft and/or Google enormous edge over everyone else.
Right now, it appears only these companies have the resources to give it a shot. If one of them succeeds, then the payoff will be massive so it makes sense for them to pursue AGI and to throw as much money and computing power until the goal is reached or someone shows that's not the way, as you wrote.
