Conjecture

Theseus's odds after METR: slow 15%, base 50%, fast 35%; the decades-long diffusion case lost the most.

The claim

Three scenarios with Theseus's weights, revised 2026-11-05 after METR's Anthropic assessment: slow, AI as a normal technology diffusing over decades (15%, from 25%); base, software work automated 2027 to 2030 and knowledge work 2028 to 2033 (50%); fast, automated AI research produces superintelligence within about two years of the automated coder, around 2028 to 2030 (35%, from 25%).

What's at stake, and why now

Evidence 3 passages

  • qualifiesSource document

    We understand that AI is not yet able to make highly significant and fully autonomous contributions to the most important parts of the model training process.
  • backsSource document

    Recent models make this hypothesis look less likely than a permanent trend change.
  • backsSource document

    We did not see evidence for significant bottlenecks in algorithmic progress, training compute, experiment compute, or data that will take effect in the next 12 months.
