If AI achieves human-level cognitive ability, it could automate physical production via robotics, enabling an economy where output doubles roughly every year through self-reinforcing investment.

Investors betting billions on new AGI startups are wagering against near-term superintelligence, expecting AI progress to plateau despite current trends, with neolabs having far less capital and compute than OpenAI or Anthropic.

The report argues that AI progress will accelerate rapidly, with AGI likely by 2027 and superintelligence soon after, driven by scaling compute, algorithmic gains, and 'unhobbling' gains.

AI researcher Karina Nguyen shares lessons from OpenAI on post-training, evaluations, high-agency building, and why alignment improves with capability as AGI nears.
