> Even if there is fast takeoff AGI, he thinks human messiness will slow implementation

Five years ago during covid all these clunky legacy businesses couldn't figure out a CSV let alone APIs but suddenly with AGI they are going to become tech masters and know how to automate and processize their entire operations?

I found it very amusing that at the turn of the decade "digitalisation" was a buzzword as Amazon was approaching its 25th anniversary.

Meanwhile huge orgs like the NHS run on fax and was crippled by excel row limits. Software made a very slow dent in these old important slow moving orgs. AI might speed up the transition but I don't see it happening overnight. Maybe 5 years if we pretend smartphone adoption is indicative of AGI and humanoid robot rollout
