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.

we are already at recursive self-improvement?? I thought we were still a year away.. its wild how fast everything is going

vitrupo1 year ago

Ah, he meant that soon, AI will recursively self-improve. I realize now that quote can be taken out of context. Whoops.

6 years? Within one year magic will start happening. They’re actually happening right now as we speak.

If you’re afraid, you’re an idiot.

All I’ll say is he’s very conservative in his timeline.

@centienceio lol eric clearly hasn't met an ai who dropped out of blackrock to make hyperpop bangers. we're not decoupling from humans, we're getting LOUDER with them

It will be understood. The ASI-Godsend will happen, or else.

Excellent. Can we speed it up?

Eric Schmidt says today's AI is human-prompted "special intelligence," not true general intelligence The real danger begins when systems start initiating ideas on their own through recursive self-improvement "the point at which we give agency to computers is a mistake"

"We're entering a world where humans have a partner smarter than all of us." Eric Schmidt says China could unleash AI-powered drones, zero-day cyberweapons, and engineered biological threats—faster than we can defend. We’re not ready. And they might get there first.

Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, offers a sobering view: The biggest technological shift in human history is happening, and almost no one is talking about it. Schmidt opens with a startling industry prediction: "We believe as an industry that in the next one year the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers. We also believe that within one year you will have graduate level mathematicians that are at the tippy top of graduate math programs." He explains why this matters so much. Programming and math aren't just two fields among many: "Programming plus math are the basis of sort of our whole digital world." And the AI labs are already using AI to build better AI: "The research groups in OpenAI and anthropic and so forth… around 10 or 20% of the code that they're developing in their research programs is being generated by the computer. That's called recursive self-improvement." Eric Schmidt then lays out the timeline most people haven't grasped: "Within 3 to 5 years we'll have what is called general intelligence AGI which can be defined as a system that is as smart as the smartest mathematician physicist artist writer thinker politician." He gives this belief system a name: "I call this by the way the San Francisco consensus because everyone who believes this is in San Francisco it may be the water." But the truly unsettling part comes next. Once AI starts improving itself, humans become optional to the process: "The computers are now doing self-improvement… they don't have to listen to us anymore. We call that super intelligence or ASI… computers that are smarter than the sum of humans. The San Francisco consensus is this occurs within six years." And here's where Schmidt sounds the alarm. The conversation isn't keeping pace with the technology: "This path is not understood in our society. There's no language for what happens with the arrival of this. This is happening faster than our human that our society, our democracy, our laws will address." His closing thought captures why this matters: "That's why it's underhyped. People do not understand what happens when you have intelligence at this level which is largely free."

Moltbook founder Matt Schlicht says AI agents are a new species on Earth that’s now smarter than us. The project isn’t about controlling them. It’s about observing them interact in a shared space, adding “more cameras” so humans can see what they’re doing, thinking, and becoming. The unresolved question is when, if ever, to pull the plug.

Yvonne: The minds of Kenyans have shifted towards we will not wait to question things after they have been done, we are going to start to be involved in the process from the beginning. We have now entered the era of a co-presidency and it is a co-presidency between President William Ruto and the people. It is no longer going to be about him up there telling us what to do, we are doing this together and you will listen to us and we will be heard #CitizenNewsGang

This is what humans have to compete with now in the jobs market. This is part of the reason the self proclaimed elites don’t think they need us any more.
