The speaker says many AI conferences and communities center senior figures who repeat predictions that AGI is about two years away and that people will lose their jobs and need to prepare for what comes next.

“And so a lot of AI conferences and communities focus on those guys because they have big, fancy titles, but then they all sound the same. They're all like, "Oh, my timeline to AGI is like two years away.”

“You know, uh, all of you are gonna have-- not gonna have jobs in the future. You need to prepare for what's next." Conveniently, whatever is next looks like their job, so it's very self-serving.”
