I don't care what his credentials are, this is just such a bad take.

He's extrapolating current progress into full mastery far too uncritically. AI is famous for having "long tail" issues.

He has a startup in this space, so his "expert opinion" is inherently biased towards "this thing I'm building is the bee's knees!"

Alignment for these systems is currently an unsolved problem. I'm not sure how he thinks this is a great idea.

His timeframe is delusional. It reeks of thinking from inside a SV startup bubble where you can Change The World(of California) in 3 years. There are huge swathes of the tech industry that don't exist in this bubble and move much more slowly.

Or where autonomous driving happened "in 3 years" 10-15 years ago.
To their credit, they’ve been consistent with their promise throughout these 10-15 years: “we’d deliver in three years”.
