MIRI president Nate Soares says he can no longer rule out an intelligence explosion within six months.
He points to a shift in the landscape: a year ago, the bar people set for AI was solving a Millennium Prize problem — this year, AIs seem to be solving them. Soares stops short of a formal prediction but stresses nobody can rule it out. Quoter victorexplore notes six months is shorter than the roadmap for most things he's building on these models.
