I think in our scenario that's like late 2026, I'm going to be humble and not hold out for the superintelligence.

Yeah, and I think somebody mentioned this on the LessWrong post about it, and somebody made some AI-generated comments to that post.

I feel like if I had started a blog in 2000 or something, then, I don't know, I've done well for myself.
