OpenAI's Will Depue: nobody has internalized that machines will soon beat us at everything
CatAstro_Piyush · x · 2026-11-12
Will Depue argues that almost no one—including himself—has truly internalized that a machine will soon surpass humans in every intellectual and physical capacity. Our deep-down belief that our 'entrepreneurship' or 'taste' is special and safe is wrong: 'it's over.' A quoted reply adds that this implies nothing in nature already exceeds our cognitive and physical limits, and that recognizing minds unlike ours makes it easier to get past the ontological shock.
