Prediction: 10 billion superintelligent agents spawnable by 2030 or sooner

In a discussion on AGI timelines, the respondent makes clear he is "certainly not in any form of denial": he fully expects that by 2030 or earlier we will be able to spawn 10 billion agents, each of them superintelligent — effectively "a whole earth of geniuses" working on a problem simultaneously.
The claim is far more aggressive than mainstream forecasts, framing scaled agents not as tools but as an explosion of total intelligence — where the bottleneck shifts from any single model's IQ to organizing and aligning that mass of agents.
