Garrison Lovely: AI firms may keep advancing by scaling, not cracking intelligence
GarrisonLovely · x · 2026-10-08
Responding to the claim that "people have no idea what's coming," Garrison Lovely argues public awareness of AI progress lags even further behind.
His take: AI companies may keep advancing without unlocking fundamental mysteries of intelligence or consciousness — simply by continuing to scale the same approach that has worked since 2012. He also empathizes with those alarmed that unregulated, unaccountable companies may build machines that genuinely outmatch us.
