It really depends. A few people have correctly pointed that massive amounts of investment dollars are leaving the space as Boomers move their money into safe shit like TBills. Ultimately this means that unless AGI is a natural progression from where we are, it highly unlikely we will see it in our lifetimes.
Without the vast amounts of capital funding that has been available to this point, the advance of technologies will slow and the probability of revolutions or massive breakthroughs will diminish.

"A few people" being Zeihan, who's pretty stupid.

You still have large corporations like Microsoft, Amazon, and other tech companies that see this as a cash cow in the future. Just because boomers get more conservative with there money doesn't mean business investment won't be directed towards AI. These are blue chip companies that, as investments go, are deemed safe. I think the past year has been a tipping point for the technology, where it was a fringe technology that insiders saw promise in, to a mainstream phenomenon that has captured the public's imagination. I think investment will continue to trend upward.
