The quote directly says that after achieving full AGI, 'super intelligence might be quite close on the heels of that,' which clearly supports the full statement that AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence.

Verified. The Podscripts source URL is the June 23, 2025 transcript of this Young and Profiting episode, and at about 01:24:13 it contains the quoted wording. The official Young and Profiting transcript for the same episode explicitly labels that line as spoken by Nick Bostrom, supporting correct attribution. Minor transcript formatting differences appear around the preceding filler words and “AGI/a GI,” but the quoted excerpt itself is present.

Source URL (https://podscripts.co/...e356) returns HTTP 403 Forbidden via WebFetch, and the primary source page on youngandprofiting.com (E356 episode) is also 403-blocked, as is the YouTube link for related Bostrom AGI content. Web search confirms Nick Bostrom did appear on Hala Taha's Young and Profiting podcast (E356) discussing AGI and superintelligence, but the exact phrasing "close on the heels" could not be located in indexed snippets. The quote content - that superintelligence might follow close on the heels of full AGI - is fully consistent with Bostrom's central, well-documented thesis as author of "Superintelligence" (2014) and his consistent public position. The "for" vote correctly aligns with the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence." Year 2025 is plausible for E356. Cannot positively verify exact wording against primary source due to access blocks.
