Alexandr Wang says he's waiting to have a kid, until tech like Neuralink is ready. The first 7 years are peak neuroplasticity. Kids born with it will integrate in ways adults never can. AI is accelerating faster than biology. Humans will need to plug in to avoid obsolescence.

David Kipping says something fundamental has shifted in science. At a closed meeting at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), top physicists agreed AI can now do up to “90%” of their work and may soon push discovery beyond human understanding. “I don’t know that I want to live in a world where everything around me is just magic.” He says the best scientific minds on Earth are now holding emergency meetings about what comes next. This isn’t speculative anymore. It’s really happening.

Ilya Sutskever says accurately predicting the next word leads to real understanding.

Elon Musk says he's now racing to build the thing he once feared. He tried to slow AI down, then realized there were only two choices: watch or participate. If ASI is inevitable, he'd rather help shape one that seeks truth and finds humanity interesting enough to keep around.

Stephen Wolfram says LLMs may have put the final nail in the coffin of the idea that consciousness is something magical beyond physics. What we call awareness, this “single thread of experience,” might have begun as a way for early animals to decide whether to turn left or right. And that, he admits, feels a little disappointing.

Demis Hassabis: calling today's chatbots “PhD intelligences” is nonsense. They can dazzle at a PhD level one moment and fail high school math the next. True AGI won't make trivial mistakes. It will reason, adapt, and learn continuously. We're still 5–10 years away.

Geoffrey Hinton says mathematics is a closed system, so AIs can play it like a game. They can pose problems to themselves, test proofs, and learn from what works, without relying on human examples. “I think AI will get much better at mathematics than people, maybe in the next 10 years or so.”

Eric Schmidt says the 10x advantage is no longer execution. It is defining what counts as success. A programmer writes a spec and an evaluation function, runs it at 7pm, and wakes up to what was invented overnight. The advantage now belongs to whoever can specify the problem precisely. The rest will be automated.

Eric Schmidt says intelligence is about to decouple from us. “The computers are now doing self-improvement.. They don’t have to listen to us anymore.” Within six years: a mind smarter than the sum of humans -- scaled, recursive, free. We have no language for what’s coming.

Jeff Dean says we’re going to have to re-engineer our tools because they were designed for human speed. An AI agent can run 50x faster, but the tools it relies on don’t. So even if the model gets infinitely fast, you only get 2-3x improvement overall. Amdahl’s law still applies.

Andrej Karpathy told his OpenClaw: “I think I have Sonos at home.” It scanned the network, found devices, reverse engineered APIs, and started playing music. Soon “Dobby” was running the house. Lights. HVAC. Security cameras. Agents are getting good at figuring systems out.

Patrick Collison says humanity has never cured a complex disease. Not cancer. Not Alzheimer’s. Not Type 1 diabetes. His Arc Institute is trying something new: Simulate biology with AI. Test interventions before touching the body. Build a virtual cell. Test hypotheses in code. If it works, biology becomes computable.
