Opinion
Genuine AGI safety concerns are 10 to 20 years away
“I think this is likely what we're doing with AI and AI safety and stuff like that, that we could foresee in 1020 years AGI, where there's actual safety issues, but we are so far from that today. That's, I think, actually getting close to the peak of inflated e…”

The future of software is human-in-the-loop symbiosis, not fully autonomous AGI
“And so that would mean the future of software looks more like man-machine symbiosis. Then it does AGI, you know, the computer does everything for you.”

Nolan: AGI Is Not Necessary to Scale Nuclear Energy
“I don't know that AGI specifically is really necessary. I think what we just have to do is just start building, and we have the technology in the nuclear industry already. The reactor designs are there, and it's just going to be a matter of deployment and cons…”

Taylor: Nuclear and Heavy Construction Are Insulated from AGI Disruption
“I actually think that if you're looking for an investment that is protected from AGI, it's something like this, where it's extremely physical. You're bending steel, you're stacking blocks, you're building plants, you're laying concrete. It's going to be a long…”

Doricko: True AGI may be impossible because AI lacks a soul
“If anything, I'm a slow takeoff guy. I don't even know if you can really get AGI. You can get something that resembles it maybe more and more, but it's not in sold. So it won't quite have a human thing, which is important.”

Adcock: AGI might be achieved first in humanoid robotic embodiments
“So in some way I think we'll get to at or even beyond human level intelligence in these systems. It actually might be the case that we get to artificial general intelligence first in these embodiments.”

Pereyra: DeepMind used a top-down 'tech tree' approach to reach AGI
“And then DeepMind was much more top down where Demis just had this vision of, okay, we're going to create AGI. Here's all the things that I think are required. And so they kind of had this tech tree of how they were going to do it. And then let's have all thes…”
