Even if the AGI were 10 times as expensive and only about as capable on average as a median human (with bursts of superhuman ability like how gpt-3 is way faster and makes few spelling or punctuation errors), there is value in just knowing it is possible. I would expect enormous investments in all of the support infrastructure. After all of you know it is possible and will scale it’s a matter of national survival. You cannot afford to be a skeptic when you see the actual flash and mushroom cloud. (Referring to how the los Alamos test obviously converted plenty of skeptics)
Another Manhattan project comparison : wouldn’t more damage had been done to japanese cities if the project budget were spent on additional b-29s and ordinance? Two fission devices that only core 2 cities is probably not really enough damage to “justify” the project cost.
