Think about how far from the atomic bomb we were at the dawn of the day Einsten sat down to think how fun it would be to ride a light ray. And how for we were at the end of that same day. There is not garantee that AGI research will follow some incremental line leading to decades of research. It can happen in an evening. That being said, my opinion is that the author believe AGI is near based on the fact that he wants to believe. UPDATE: What does Einsten theory of relativity has to do with atomic bombs, you may ask. Well, nothing actually, but you got the point.
