AI capability acceleration
Training, reasoning, autonomy
As compute and real-world data (cars, robots, X) grow, model capability jumps. Musk talks both about AI beyond humans and “truth-seeking” AI.
Odds (editorial): Medium (50%)
What Musk / companies have said
xAI/Grok, Tesla real-world AI (FSD, Optimus), and exponential compute are the spine. Timelines often optimistic vs field performance.
Our probability read
Narrow superhuman systems: already partial, high odds of more. Civilization-scale superintelligence timing: highly uncertain (medium band). We track benches and real tasks.
What we track
Grok/xAI releases, FSD intervention rates, Optimus autonomy, compute–performance.
