AI Reading Every Paper on arXiv Could Be a Bridge to AGI
imjustnewatai · x · 2026-09-02
The author speculates on a scenario where AI becomes smart enough to read every paper on arXIV. It could identify ideas that half-worked, failed due to lack of compute, or were never combined. By linking papers from different years to solve problems, writing and testing code, AI could digest decades of human unfinished ideas in months, eventually improving research and building smarter successors—a believable bridge to AGI.
