Pedro Domingos mocks NYT claim that superintelligence is already here
pmddomingos · x · 2026-10-28
Pedro Domingos sarcastically tweeted "Breaking news: the NY Times says superintelligence is already here," highlighting a passage from an NYT piece on interpretability research: humans can think in only three dimensions while neural networks operate in thousands, performing thousands of calculations in the same mathematical space. The quote actually describes why interpretability is hard—AI systems process far more information than the human brain could ever process—and Domingos is mocking what he sees as the NYT overstating model capabilities.
