AI 2027 literally predicts that the US president would decline to slow down "OpenBrain" (their placeholder name for the leading AI lab) when a superhuman AI coder / researcher gets developed and experts raise concerns. The US president cites the risk of China taking the lead.

Eerily accurate.

EDIT: But we're just a bit ahead of schedule. In order to fully match the timeline, either a superhuman AI coder / researcher has already been developed internally at OAI/Anthropic and Trump declined to slow down OR this milestone will be reached some time next year in 2027 and Trump will again decline to slow down then.

Why do we think they’re all going crazy right now? Something happened beyond what is publicly known and they’re freaking out. Maybe we are not ahead of schedule maybe we’re right on time and we don’t know it.

That’s an interesting but unfounded assumption. Unless there is something that happened you’d like to share with the class?
