No AGI on the horizon and that ROI horizon approaching fast is going to make Ed Zitron a superstar.
If Demis Hassabis got a Nobel prize for being a Project Manager, is Zitron up for the Nobel on Economy for excellence in economic forecast?

    Nobel was awarded due to project management work. There are many thousands of scientists with work much much better than what Demis has done.
