🎙️ Welcome to Revise and Resubmit — the podcast where research gets real, and revision is the name of the game!
You’re tuning in to this week’s episode of Weekend Classics — where we crack open bold ideas and brilliant minds, all before your Sunday coffee gets cold ☕📚
🚀 What if I told you that in just two years, AI might not just be better than us — it might be way better?
Not “write-an-essay” better. Not “play-chess” better.
But “solve-scientific-mysteries” better. “Outsmart-governments” better.
That’s the scenario laid out in an electrifying report titled “AI 2027”, penned by Daniel Kokotajlo, Scott Alexander, Thomas Larsen, Eli Lifland, and Romeo Dean — and published by the brilliant folks over at the AI Futures Project this April.
🧠 This report isn’t just forecasting; it’s storytelling with a ticking clock.
We’re talking OpenBrain vs. DeepCent. A trans-Pacific race to superintelligence.
AI models that start off clumsy in 2025… and by September 2027, are making Einstein look like a weekend hobbyist.
💣 Geopolitics. Power shifts. Intelligence explosions.
It’s like watching the Industrial Revolution hit 10x speed — only this time, the machines aren’t just steam-powered... they’re thinking.
But here's the real question we’ll wrestle with today:
❓What happens when the smartest entities on Earth are no longer human — and they don’t always pick up our calls?
🙌 A big thanks to the authors of “AI 2027” for crafting such a wild ride of a scenario.
🔔 If this blew your mind even half as much as it did ours, make sure to subscribe to "Revise and Resubmit" on Spotify, follow us on the Weekend Researcher YouTube channel, and catch us on Amazon Prime and Apple Podcast!
💥 Smash that follow button like it's the AI arms race — because this ride is just beginning.
🎧 Stay curious. Stay sharp. And until next time, keep revising. Keep resubmitting.
