You don't need AGI to create and disseminate effective propaganda for example. Current AI techniques, (ML etc), are readily applicable to the task. I think Brin's point is that these currently available AI techniques are only going to get better. Doesn't really matter if we won't get AGI for another 100 years or whatever.

His point is we know how to keep a large part of the global population constantly touching their devices like well programmed guinea pigs the whole day, negatively effecting themselves and society in uncountable ways yet postively effecting our share price. Please protect us to exit the loop or we get lynched one way of the other by customers or shareholders!
