The speaker raises the conditional possibility that, if AI assistance accelerates AI research enough, a 10-fold or 100-fold speed multiplier could resolve the remaining tasks.

“interested in questions of like how do you mop up the last few things that are uniquely human compared to when can you start coding in a way that helps the human AI researchers speed up their AI research and then if you've helped them speed up the AI research enough is that enough to with some ridiculous speed multiplier 10 times 100 times mop up all of these other things”
