The dominant opinion on HN is, apparently, "It's been a full four days since OpenAI resolved Navier-Stokes, they must be hitting a wall."

#42I just drank a glass of wine. I'll drink one more and I swear to you I'll stop after that, forever.

It is a convenient time, just as coding capability seems to reach the upper end of the S curve.
is there some metric that supports this?

#44Sam also said Astra was AGI and he's notoriously honest.
This is just their way of saying they're officially switching from providing AI to using the AI to compete with their customers, a la Navier-Stokes drama.

#45Why do you on HN want AI to slow down (mainly OpenAI and Anthropic from what I see in the comments)? What's the driving force behind your opinions on this?
More time to proceed more cautiously in building this entity that will be faster and more effective at steering outcomes in the world than any human or, soon after, the entirety of humans combined.

#46Nice story - AI will kill humans therefore we will slow down.
When all labs are approaching the same marginal improvment which is a clear sign that more breakthroughs needed to achieve the god they hyped.

I don’t want to become one of the lucky to be alive in a human zoo or a human lab…

Humans not dying would be an excellent feature for the future to have. Not a hard requirement though, we'll see if there are some story points left in the sprint.
I keep reading about AI killing all humans but I have yet to see a practical scenario where that happens. Somehow everyone is scared of that but nobody can explain exactly how that would happen?

How? Coding capabilities keep improving, there is no break
