Gotcha. I’m happy to offer 600 of my reputation points vs. 200 of yours on your description of 2026-2028 not panning out. (In general if it becomes obvious[1] that we’re racing toward ASI in the next few years, then people should probably not take me seriously anymore.)
Not that one; I would not be shocked if this market resolves Yes. I don’t have an alternative operationalization on hand; would have to be about AI doing serious intellectual work on real problems without any human input. (My model permits AI to be very useful in assisting humans.)
Hmm, yes. I agree that there’s something about self-guiding /self-correcting on complex lengthy open-ended tasks where current AIs seem at near-zero performance.
I do expect this to improve dramatically in the next 12 months. I think this current lack is more about limitations in the training regimes so far, rather than limitations in algorithms/architectures.
Contrast this with the challengingness of ARC-AGI, which seems like maybe an architecture weakness?

well, so obvious that I agree, anyway; apparently it’s already obvious to some people.
I’ll happily accept that bet, but maybe we could also come up with something more specific about the next 12 months?

Can we bet karma?
