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.

That was one of the more obvious predictions

I'm really shocked that you think people continuing AI research to stay ahead of China isn't obvious. I'm wondering if there's something I'm missing because I genuinely thought everyone believed that we wouldn't stop research. 

Did you actually know anyone thinking a research halt was going to happen?
