Anthropic co-founder tells IMF the AI singularity has begun

In an October 17 Bangkok lecture he cites faster science and says Anthropic researchers now write nearly 10 times as much code.

Import AI publishes a speech given October 17 at an IMF meeting in Bangkok by a speaker who says he co-founded Anthropic after working at OpenAI. He argues this year brought evidence that the singularity has begun and that AI will speed scientific progress, while focusing the talk on sharing benefits rather than risks. He says Anthropic researchers now produce almost 10 times as much code as in the company’s first four years, and that coding gains have also improved cyberattacks. The published text cuts off mid-sentence.

Unconfirmed: The singularity claim and the nearly 10-times code figure are the speaker’s assertions; the speech is truncated and partly ad-libbed.
