Well, you could let Robin Hanson throw some cold water on short timelines and then take it from there: https://futureoflife.org/podcast/robin-hanson-on-predicting-the-future-of-artificial-intelligence/

This was super helpful for the anxiety. Thank you. :)

I'm glad to hear it! Hanson's perspective is very well-reasoned and does not make the kinds of speculative leaps that drive a lot of the forecasting about AGI.
Interesting note: Hanson came up with the Great Filter hypothesis about the Fermi Problem.

Interestingly enough, I'm actually from the little town where the Drake equation was developed 🙂
