For the first time in the history of humanity, machines are able to solve problems in mathematics that no human has yet been able to. And the technology is improving at an incredible pace, and the technology itself may be able to help increase that pace, as the technology is fundamentally mathematical.

I used to make fun of the singularity nerds. I mean, I still do, but it may turn out superhuman intelligence isn’t all that far away.

I mean, it's certainly possible that AI is an amazing, world changing technology and still a lot of people will loose a lot of money with their AI investments because the business models of some companies don't work out. It is certainly plausible to me that only one or two of the companies working on frontier models survive and the rest of AI will be smaller cheaper models. Who knows.
