Daniel Kokotajlo, author of the AI 2027 scenario, says the new METR report convinces him the intelligence explosion will likely happen in 2027 after all. He notes the post mainly analyzes METR's report alongside other evidence, implying an AI-driven acceleration 5 months ahead of his original AI 2027 timeline — leaving him "scared, sad, and angry." Daniel Mac (Inc founder) reposted, calling him the best at predicting AI's future, though disagreeing with the report's implicit negative valence.
