OFFICIAL: AGI by 2030!

Is this the moment everything quietly changed?

In this episode of The Next Thing Now, we unpack the restructure of OpenAI, the reworked AGI clause with Microsoft, and why the date 2030 suddenly matters far more than most people realise.

This is not about hype. It’s about incentives, contracts, infrastructure, and the uncomfortable signals buried in plain sight.

We explore:

• Why OpenAI and Microsoft have formally planned for an AGI endgame
• What the AGI clause really means and why independent verification changes everything
• Why AI is no longer just a product decision but an infrastructure race
• How agents, hardware, and energy reshape the future of work
• What leaders are missing while focusing on copilots and prompts

If you think AGI is a distant theoretical debate, this conversation may change your mind.

The shift is not coming loudly. It’s arriving through contracts, compute, and quiet decisions that lock in the next decade.

Pay attention.
