The funniest outcome* would be if China already had ASI and was just slow-drip releasing cheap open-source “frontier models” to bankrupt the US through strategic overinvestment, like the US did to the Soviet Union. *Funniest and therefore most likely

I have the same reaction to the weird self-driving golf car/t thing which is “maybe not for me in terms of price + usecase but damn its cool to see more of this weird future emerge.” it did kinda feel like society was frozen in amber for 10-15 years and suddenly a switch was flipped, and now things are changing at a f...
