Toby Ord recommends Ramez Naam's new article assessing how close current AI systems are to triggering an intelligence explosion. Unlike classic RSI arguments that assume AI starts as good as humans at AI R&D, Ramez works from actual current-model scaling data, using frameworks accepted by explosion proponents. Ord urges bullish readers to engage with his evidence against explosive growth.
