austinc3301 · x · 2026-11-11
Daniel Kokotajlo, author of the AI 2027 scenario, says the new METR report convinces him the intelligence explosion will happen in 2027 — an AI-driven acceleration about 5 months ahead of his original scenario. He calls the analysis persuasive-but-scary; the post is grounded mainly in the METR report's capability trend measurements. Steven Byrnes amplified it, calling the analysis "pretty persuasive."
