Leopold Aschenbrenner was fired in April from OpenAI for leaking information about the company to the press. He also wrote a paper called "Situational Awareness" about the state of artificial intelligence now and what we can expect from it during the next 3 to 5 years; it's the most brilliant analysis of the subject that I have ever seen.
*Situational Awareness * <https://situational-awareness.ai/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/situationalawareness.pdf> If Aschenbrenner is correct, and I'm almost certain he is, in about a year every single one of the political issues that today we think are SOOO important and will determine who will be the next president (illegal immigration, global warming, high gas prices, and even excessive wokeness) are going to seem pretty damn trivial in about a year compared with the overwhelming importance of AI. Aschenbrenner also gave a 4 1/2 hour interview that I wish every politician and business leader in the country would watch. Aschenbrenner is only 21 and he looks like he's 15, but he's obviously smart as hell.
