I don't expect AGI or Super intelligence to take that long but I do think it'll happen in private labs now. There's an AI business model (pay per token) that folks can use also.

I appreciate the optimism for what would be the biggest achievement (and possibly disaster) in human history. I wish other technologies like curing cancer, Alzheimer's, solving world hunger and peace would have similar timelines.
We are making decent strides on the first two, the latter two are like wanting cats to stop scratching. What's the point of being a cat than?
