- So I was like, “I don’t think we’re going to get it in 2026, probably not in 2027, maybe in 2028.” So it did happen a lot faster than I expected.
- The proof AI produced runs to more than 500 pages and will not be intelligible to any human. That is a strange milestone in our history, in philosophy, in science and in mathematics that could fundamentally change our relationship with knowledge – humans won’t be able to inspect the proof, or understand it at all.
- Within a generation, the way we discover medicine, manage power grids, and secure our national infrastructure will be completely transformed.
- But a secondary revolution will come from using AI as a microscope: we will use it to see our own minds.

- I’d bet we learn more about our own brains from building a thousand AIs under a real theory of intelligence than we’ve learned from a century of neuroscience.
- In the long term the instrument of AI will probably exceed the importance of the microscope, telescope and cyclotron combined.
- Every quote from Kevin Kelly
- Anthropic was founded by scientists who believe AI can deliver transformative progress for research itself...
- And actually, I would be really worried for humanity given the other challenges that we have, climate, aging, resources, all of that if I didn’t know something like AI was coming down the line.

- And it sort of fits with the way I think about physics in general, which is that I think information is primary, information is the most sort of fundamental unit of the universe, more fundamental than energy and matter.
- And we’re probably close, and again in the next five years to having AI systems that can materially help with those problems.
- Every quote from Demis Hassabis
- If we can do a decade’s worth of research in a year, or a month, then the rate of progress will obviously be quite different.
- Superintelligent tools could massively accelerate scientific discovery and innovation well beyond what we are capable of doing on our own, and in turn massively increase abundance and prosperity.
- Oracle trained AI models and AI Agents will improve the rate of scientific discovery, economic development and corporate growth throughout the world. The scale of the opportunity is unimaginable.
- I’m actually open to the (perhaps absurd-sounding) idea that we could get 1000 years of progress in 5-10 years, but very skeptical that we can get 100 years in 1 year.

- This might seem radical, but life expectancy increased almost 2x in the 20th century (from ~40 years to ~75), so it’s “on trend” that the “compressed 21st” would double it again to 150.
- To summarize the above, my basic prediction is that AI-enabled biology and medicine will allow us to compress the progress that human biologists would have achieved over the next 50-100 years into 5-10 years.
- Every quote from Dario Amodei
- Computers today are the single most important instrument of knowledge, and it’s foundational to every single industry in every field of science...
