Dwarkesh: The avalanche hitting math is coming for AI development
Dwarkesh Podcast · rss · 2026-11-14
Dwarkesh Patel publishes a long-form essay and podcast episode updating his AGI timeline: earlier this year he'd have said superintelligence was at least most of a decade away, but the past three months of podcast debates have shifted his view dramatically.
He argues that the "avalanche" currently hitting mathematics — AI accelerating research breakthroughs — is about to hit AI development itself, setting up recursive self-improvement. A written version with footnotes and links is available at dwarkesh.com/p/rsi.
