Could a math-peak ASI one-shot AGI? Redditor puts 35% odds within 5 years
Budget_Geologist_574 · reddit · 2026-10-30
A speculative Reddit post asks whether the prerequisites for AGI/recursive self-improvement could be formally proven within mathematics — i.e., proving a system needs at least X, Y, Z. The author guesses a future spiky math ASI could discover a mathematical space describing "intelligence" and one-tap the problem, assigning 35% odds within 5 years. An open-ended thought experiment with a hand-drawn diagram.
