This is some internal reference/joke. We on the internet don't really know what it actually means.

That sounds like a more plausible explanation.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No, we only have roughly 70,000 nuclear bombs and no widespread nuclear energy. Not quiet the worst outcome but pretty close.

That is nowhere close to the worst outcome

Just wait for a few more climate catastrophes

It really baffles me that even extremely knowledgeable insiders like this end up buying the AGI hype. LLMs are extremely novel and have lots of groundbreaking applications, but this idea that we are headed directly into fantasy sci-fi A.I. is completely bonkers.

It's one thing to push this kind of hype to get people talking about A.I. if you're trying to capitalize on this space. It's something else entirely to swallow your own marketing BS as if it were gospel.

But let's face it, this guy probably isn't serious, he's just spewing more hype upon departing OpenAI looking for the next tech company to hire him.
