Is This the Year of Superintelligence (ASI)? 🤖
"I think we're quite close to digital superintelligence (ASI). It may happen this year, maybe it doesn't happen this year, next year for sure." – Elon Musk What's ASI, Artificial SuperIntelligence? Think of it as AI that's smarter than any human at literally everything. Not just chess or math, but creativity, problem-solving, decision-making, the works. Why This Could Change Everything . . . 🚀 Science at Warp Speed: We're talking 100x faster breakthroughs in physics, chemistry, biology. Anthropic's CEO thinks we might even double human lifespan in the next decade. Imagine AI solving climate change, poverty, or aging itself. ⚡ The Winner-Take-All Moment Here's the kicker: DeepMind's Jeff Clune warns "the first ASI is likely to be the last ASI." Why? Because self-improving AI grows exponentially. First place becomes everything. This explains why Ilya Sutskever (OpenAI's former chief scientist) just raised $6B at a $32B valuation for his new company Safe Superintelligence (SSI)!! And get this, SSI has NO product yet. Top VCs like a16z, Alphabet, Nvidia, Sequoia, et.al. are betting he'll build the first (and last) aligned superintelligence. Recent Key ASI Developments This Week: 1. Meta creates Superintelligence Labs led by Scale AI and GitHub ex-CEOs as Zuckerberg escalates AI competition 2.
