Achievements of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

ASI within a year..... Timeline keeps accelerating

The world as we know it is over. Things are going to get incredibly weird and dangerous next year.

It's not obvious to most people, but most of the people in the industry who have direct knowledge of how AI progresses agree that ASI, artificial super intelligence, is coming in the next year. In fact the timeline keeps getting cut shorter.

Most agree that 2027 will be a year when everything changes, probably the most dramatic change in our entire history.

This is real, folks. It's going to happen. If not 2027, definitely 2028. It's not really possible to plan for it, but it's worth thinking about how to use it to our advantage. The smartest models have become absurdly capable.

A good read from Ars on what looks like an interesting book https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/11/what-happens-to-mathematics-when-ai-becames-an-oracle/

Oh and a couple of drops from DeepMind with AlphaGenome 2 and a proof of Signal’s cryptographic protocol.

“Super proud to announce AlphaGenome 2 - our new DNA sequence model! It predicts the impact of DNA variants in different specific cell types - unlocking crucial information for understanding complex diseases. Available for academic research via our API: https://alphagenomedocs.com

“Super cool! AlphaGenome 2 just landed! This is one of the critical BioAI models for identifying the genetic basis of disease & even aging! It’s all about our biocode (DNA). Once AI has a complete handle on that, we can fix it, rewrite it, and engineer it from a clean slate!”

Derya is perhaps over optimistic.

AI investment for 2026 is projected to be up to about 1 % of the global GDP according to Goldman Sachs. If the growth continues, we’d soon be approaching the levels of spending on nuclear weapons during the cold war era.

The only difference is that the tools that come out of it are now available to everyone, although on a slightly delayed basis.

AlphaGenome 2 is our next-generation DNA sequence model that bridges single-cell biology and human genetics, predicting how variants affect human cell types.
