New from me: why ASI is not inevitable. borretti.me/article/on-i...

A screenshot of this text: Ok, so maybe we replace “inevitable” with “n-inevitable” where n is some number of years. This is a bit better. So you might say: “AGI is 5-inevitable and ASI is 10-inevitable”. Now, is this true?

No. We are not in the “seed AI in a basement” timeline, where a lone genius who finds the right algorithm can build and run an ASI on a single-core laptop. There are de facto two frontier AI companies, both in the same city, and they have to spend astronomical quantities of money, hundreds of billions of dollars, to push the frontier of AI slightly forward. And the set of people who can push the frontier is so small that they constantly jump ship from one company to the other: from DeepMind to OpenAI to Anthropic, and back again. The timeline of methods is the same: in 2020-2023, everyone was scaling pretraining; in 2022-2023, everyone was doing instruction finetuning and RLHF; then in 2023-2024, synthetic data started working and later reasoning models; since then the focus has been on RL. The same companies, people, ideas, methods, and paradigm. And these companies have little political power with which to oppose regulation.

How can the inevitable be so centralized?

one thing that I hate about ADHD is that I need to be hyper interested, extremely stressed, etc. to really get into something. no gears beyond locked in or kinda listless. this isn't a quirk chungus so wacky thing, it's a character flaw that makes my life worse.

there’s three paths: ASI never happens and we muddle along, we build a pro-human future that is friendly to all of us, or we lose. there’s no special pleading based on how many zeros you accumulate in your bank account in the lead-up to the singularity. no special future which is pro-wealthy.
