My worry is that AI systems are both better at coordinating than humans and also much, much faster moving than us. Blog Import AI 471: Why Hugging Face worries Aug 31, 2026
This means that space mining is a perfect business opportunity for superintelligences that come online - perhaps by 2033 we will see AI-run asteroid mining corporations, bidding on contracts that human-supervised companies are not willing to pursue, due to risk or complexity. Talk Import AI 458 / 2026 Cosmos HAI Lab Lecture, Oxford May 26, 2026
It’s time to plan for this, because AI systems are likely to get better a lot faster than people expect, and as they become more advanced we should expect profound changes to happen to people and to society. Talk Import AI 458 / 2026 Cosmos HAI Lab Lecture, Oxford May 26, 2026
That class of technology has never existed before, and yet I believe this could happen within the next two years, and possibly sooner. Talk Import AI 458 / 2026 Cosmos HAI Lab Lecture, Oxford May 26, 2026
This significant increase in the automation of coding has been equivalent to dropping many, many more employees into Anthropic, speeding up our overall pace of development. Talk Import AI 458 / 2026 Cosmos HAI Lab Lecture, Oxford May 26, 2026
We might soon be able to build an AI system that may be smart enough to develop its own successor, thus kicking off a process of recursive self-improvement which would utterly transform the economy and the broader world. Talk Import AI 458 / 2026 Cosmos HAI Lab Lecture, Oxford May 26, 2026
When I look at the graph, I feel a sense of vertigo, because I know a little bit about what underlies this graph. Blog Import AI 456: RSI and economic growth May 11, 2026
The surprising thing from my perspective is seeing the feedback across the whole economy, suggesting we might hit an ‘economic singularity’ as a consequence of broad diffusion of automation technologies into the economy.
