Redditor argues AI's current edge is coordination, not raw intelligence

A Reddit discussion contends that AI being 'almost as smart as humans' is really a coordination story, not an intelligence story. Using the mass parallel attack on problems like Navier-Stokes as an example, the author argues 100 researchers working 24/7 without drama could match what 10,000 agents achieved. The takeaway: the near-term threat is AI's ability to cooperate, not single-model IQ.
