Frontier AI rant: why is nobody asking where the Cambrian explosion of new science is
ryunuck · x · 2026-09-15
A fiery long post argues AI discourse around AGI/superintelligence is stuck on 'can it solve math problems' instead of asking where the novel science is. The author challenges researchers at OpenAI, Anthropic and Google: do you actually want antigravity craft, synthesized lifeforms, human-level animal cognition — and what steps are you taking? Why is progress just i+1 incremental derivatives instead of solving learning itself, and why do podcasts avoid asking about mind-reading and the theory of everything?
