The Divide Over AI Stagnation Continues to Widen
RyanGreenblatt · x · 2026-07-12
The post argues that the divide between the beliefs that "AI will stagnate" and "we will reach ASI within a decade" is everywhere.
The author's viewpoints are:
- "AI employees" might not be a good analogy, because future AI may consistently work in highly non-human ways.
- However, once AI truly begins to fully automate AI research, comparing it to tools like Excel will lose its meaning.
- The core focus of this comment is that AI's capability boundaries, working paradigms, and societal roles may continue to evolve rapidly.
