The speaker believes people are underestimating the implications of AI progress continuing at its current rate as AI capabilities pass the human horizon.

“And it seems to me one thing that's been giving me a bit of singularity of vertigo is realizing that even if the current rate of progress simply continues, so it doesn't have to speed up,”

“literally just continues apace, continues apace as some of the other hedge funds we talked about come up, right?”

“That's just like it's harder to find problems, there's more long horizon, maybe like the 2030s, compute can't keep scaling at this exponential level.”

“If we simply continue the current rate of progress,”

“I think people are not taking seriously what that implies as we cross over beyond the human horizon.”
