AGI is happening this decade, you should be hyped 😎

Secrecy is what bothers me about the development of AGI, everything needs to be transparent and open source.

In some ways you're probably right. The ability to be in constant contact with anyone else on the planet has some downsides; it's tough to really ever be out of touch, now. Even if you turn your phone off, there's an expectation that people can get a hold of you. Having a bunch of smarthome devices with cameras and microphones sounds like 1984.
Other areas of life are more of a wash. We traded the existential risk of nuclear war mostly for the existential risk of climate change. Although, we've done a lot to clean up other kinds of pollution since the 1970s. Healthcare is much better today, provided you have access to it.
With regards to your short vision, I'd hate living in a pod. I don't like to gamify my self-improvement. I've tried, and it doesn't do anything for me. I'd prefer to have at least the semblance of choice in my daily life, even if an AI is optimizing the set of choices.

AI is electricity.
We live with electricity that can do certain things faster and better than we can.
We'll live with AI that can do certain things faster and better than we can.

This.... He decided to open the bottle, so, nobody could use It in the secrecy

Why need exercise when the flood of nanobots in your bloodstream constantly burn fat and build muscle throughout your body at any given moment throughout the day?

Your life right now would sound dystopian as shit to someone from the 1970s.

Define self awareness, how do you prevent that from becoming an emergent property.

Simple no self-awareness is given to the AI

That is a human way of looking at it. There will be no concept of cost, time spent or effort to a sufficiently advanced AI. The AI will be super intelligent and will be able to think of everything and do everything instantly at the speed of light.

If an AIs goal was to minimize some cost function if abstracted out enough that would be considered effort

AI would have no concept of “effort” and they would most likely deduce they’d rather keep us feeling warm and fuzzy rather than annihilating us. This is not wishful thinking.

Yeah, I know that. People will still adapt. That's what our species does: it adapts rapidly to dramatic changes in its environment.

So 2045 will be 2025 in fact? Or maybe even 2023 by the looks of it 🙄

What is his definition of AGI? I can see passing a Turing test or Chinese room, but not self-aware, and actively creative.

Uh, solar farms are already below 2 cents/kWh for 20 year contracts in some places like Chile, wind is below 4 cents/kWh right here in the US, I think it was an Arizona contract.
And they were over 15 cents/kWh just in 2014. To point out to rapid economy of scale happening.
For comparison brand new coal and gas plants are relatively flat and stay at around 6 cents/kWh for modern high tech plant.
But just maintaining already existing coal/gas plants is still making a little bit of sense, but the thing is we're very close to when it doesn't make sense. Building a brand new solar and wind farms will be cheaper than maintaining already working coal/gas plant.
That's where we are. It'll almost completely bottom out in about a decade.
And solar requires zero maintenance, wind does require it, but it's price highlights how little it costs.
