I think the author is right about AI only accelerating to the next frontier when AI takes over AI research. If the timelines are correct and that happens in the next few years, the widely desired job of AI researcher may not even exist by then -- it'll all be a machine-based research feedback loop where humans only hinder the process.
Every other intellectual job will presumably be gone by then too. Maybe AI will be the second great equalizer, after death.
