This podcast episode discusses Dr. Alan D. Thompson's prediction that the singularity could occur sometime in mid-2025, suggesting we might already be in its early stages due to AI advancements. Dr. Thompson believes we are 94% of the way to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and approaching Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), a point echoed by Arvin Shinivas of Perplexity. The host highlights Microsoft's AI in discovering a novel non-PFAS coolant as an example of advancements towards these markers, drawing parallels to predictions in Max Tegmark's book about a rapid acceleration in technological breakthroughs driven by ASI. The discussion also covers Google's Alpha Evolve, an AI system that has significantly improved Google's computational efficiency and has broad applications, as well as other notable Alpha AI systems, suggesting a rapid pace of AI development.
