I think there is little time left before someone builds AGI (median ~2030).
Once upon a time, I didn't think this.
This post attempts to walk through some of the observations and
insights that collapsed my estimates.

The core ideas are as follows:

1. We've already captured way too much of intelligence with way too
little effort.
2. Everything points towards us capturing way more of intelligence
with very little additional effort.
3. Trying to create a self-consistent worldview that handles all
available evidence seems to force very weird conclusions.

Looking at the chaos happening around the world, I think we need AGI
as soon as possible to sort the mess out.
