This project (best read in the bolded link, not just in this post) seemed and still seems really valuable to me. My intuitions around “Might AI have discontinuous progress?” become a lot clearer once I see Katja framing them in terms of concrete questions like “How many past technologies had discontinuities equal to ten years of past progress?”. I understand AI Impacts is working on an updated version of this, which I’m looking forward to.
