I’m very curious what the major bottleneck is in the current landscape. I can only think of three possibilities: 1) model capabilities, 2) human researchers, or 3) available computers resources.
Given that frontier models are leapfrogging and massive infrastructure build is ongoing, I don’t see why any of these three couldn’t be overcome.

Why would one expect humans to get more intelligent as they offload their thinking to something else?
In the original article he noted that getting to a 2x increase in capabilities would be crazy and require ~40x researcher productivity; that’s exactly the increase the new data now shows, and thus a huge number of the assumptions made in this earlier post about how it’s unlikely we would get to this point have literally already been proven wrong less than two months later.
I expect to see an update from Ramez moving substantially more in the direction of RSI in fact very much increasing the odds of reaching ASI soon.
