A few months ago I heard Demis Hassabis say something, albeit vague, I doubt he truly believed regarding AGI. That AGI is relatively near is the party line everywhere. That may contribute to creating toxic environments and lousy investment decisions. So here we go with the FOMO.

Relatively near, as in it feels weird to imagine another two thousand years happening at current rate of progress without anyone stumbling on it. Is the continuing increase in global computing power, the lowering cost to do any kind of experimentation, the increased spending on R&D, the cross-pollination of ideas, not moving the needle at all?
