The article argues that while AI infrastructure will rapidly accelerate model engineering capabilities, this shift represents an evolution in workflow efficiency rather than a transition toward general superintelligence or fundamentally new model architectures. The author emphasizes that the primary value of near-term progress lies in democratizing experimentation and shifting the competitive advantage from execution to idea generation, without implying imminent existential risks or radical changes in AI nature.
I expect rapid progress but not towards general superintelligence

I’ve often been surprised when I hear from top researchers in industry that they think AI will be better than them at their job in a few years, and I didn’t really know why I doubted it.
I’ve often been surprised when I hear from top researchers in industry that they think AI will be better than them at their job in a few years, and I didn’t really know why I doubted it. The explanation I arrived at is that researchers are seeing this massive acceleration in the infra and engineering capabilities of the models. I fully agree that the models will be superhuman distributed GPU engineers in a few years. This will make experimentation and tinkering with the formulation of the…
