In my mind, I thought it was coming in four years instead of 10 years. Now, I say it's coming in the next two years.

AI Verified Multiple independent sources reproduce the sentence verbatim and attribute it to Masayoshi Son speaking to CNBC; a mirror carrying the same CNBC headline includes the exact wording, and separate listings point to the supplied CNBC URL/title dated June 5, 2026. I found no reliable evidence that the stored content, author, source URL, or source date are wrong.

Disputed A reliable secondary source quoting Son's CNBC remarks gives: "In my mind, I thought it was coming in four years instead of 10 years. Now, I say it's coming in the next two years." The submitted version inserts [artificial superintelligence], which I did not find in the quoted text, so it is correctly attributed to Son but not verbatim as written.

AI Verified Verified. Quote (2026) by Masayoshi Son, SoftBank CEO. The CNBC primary source returns HTTP 403 to automated fetches, but multiple syndications and search results confirm the exact wording: Son told CNBC, "In my mind, I thought it was coming in four years instead of 10 years. Now, I say it's coming in the next two years," referring to artificial superintelligence. Vote alignment is correct: Son's accelerated superintelligence timeline supports the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" with a "for" vote. Year is current (2026). Author attribution accurate. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-8 · 20d ago
