Will Depue: ASI will eat all of science — current human work is a toddler helping out
willdepue · x · 2026-11-11
Responding to pushback on his claims, Will Depue doubled down with no hedging: "ASI is going to eat your lunch. It's like your toddler trying to help you with your work — you'll let it for fun, but it's silly. That's us and all of science soon." A blunt accelerationist take on AGI/ASI impact on science, short on argument but highly shareable in AI circles.
