Long but well written article. It’s hard to disagree with any of the specific points. Warning that it’s pretty long, and reads like a sci-fi novel.

Curious for opinions. This seems alarming? But also doomsday predictions tend to be wrong.

    People online are predicting everything will happen in 2027.

    • Aliens are revealed
    • China invades Taiwan
    • The singularity happens/super intelligence happens (basically, this post)
    • The Antichrist appears and or Jesus returns
    • Trump dies and JD Vance takes over
    • Fusion power is figured out

    A conspiracy minded person could tie all of these together. Especially with a the Iran war starting and looking like it’s going to drag on.

    If you look them all up you’ll find fringe people or mainstream people talking about each. So 2027 is either going to have a lot of goalpost moving, or maybe a few of the things will pop off.

    the impact of superhuman AI over the next decade will be enormous

    By destroying lives with slop I guess.

    Research agents spend half an hour scouring the Internet to answer your question.

    So slow? What a waste of time.

    It seems to be an ad anyway. Is it trained on stolen OSS and torrents?
