Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) is moving faster than expected and that society now has only a few years to prepare. He believes AGI could arrive around 2030, though acknowledges it could be here in 2029 — or even sooner.

A tax worth paying
The company said it has prevented $11.2 billion in such fraud in the last six years. That’s a lot of value for the 15% or lower commission that all but the biggest-selling developers are required to pay on their store sales.
Don’t believe the hype, as most developers are not generating the $1 million a year required before the 30% payment kicks in.
You might reflect that if there is an Apple Tax, it’s a progressive tax in which those with the broadest shoulders help support the wider developer community, which is probably why some tech billionaires don’t like it.
But I’m not here to write about taxation; I’m here to highlight the value
