Part 5/10:
By 2027 or 2028, Aschenbrenner envisions AI performing long-horizon tasks autonomously, effectively acting as remote workers capable of managing complex, strategic objectives without human intervention. This marks a significant leap from current AI functions, which are primarily reactive and narrowly specialized.
He dedicates his essay to Ilya Sutskever, co-founder of OpenAI, highlighting the importance of visionary minds in shaping this future. Interestingly, Aschenbrenner admits that parts of his essay are based on speculative "San Francisco gossip," urging readers to interpret his predictions with cautious optimism.
