RyanGreenblatt · x · 2026-07-13
Ryan Greenblatt argues that once AI becomes sufficiently advanced, the real question isn't whether models can generate specific tokens, but whether their output is smart enough to usher in an era where AI can turn massive amounts of lead into gold.
He estimates that such capabilities could emerge 1–6 years after AI R&D is fully automated, offering a forward-looking perspective on the economic capability leap of super-powerful AI.
