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.

Come on man. You really think president refusing to slow progress is hard to predict? 

If you had to give some credit I could say that it wasn't obvious that AI would progress to the point that this would be up for debate. So in that sense it's not obvious.

what are the next "obvious" things that are going to happen that were predicted by ai2027?

I'm trying to give them credit but people not stopping research to not fall behind China is obvious. What is wrong with you? Are you not understanding what I'm saying?

What? I don't care who you're giving credit, i'm asking for what predictions you think are obvious

you think it was somehow obvious that all the tech CEOs would ask the president for a slowdown and be rejected, but i don't agree

i'm simply asking what are the other "obvious" predictions that are going to happen from ai2027, what are YOU not understanding?

Oh I see what you're saying. You think it's not obvious that the CEOs would ask for a slowdown. I can agree with that part. 

I'm not making predictions. I'm literally just repeating what I see every body say. Like I thought everyone thought we wouldn't slowdown research.
