Brian Wang has had over 90% accuracy with public predictions on public websites like Metaculus and Manifold.

OpenAI O3 model has shown that greater than human PHD reasoning is possible but with about 30,000 GPUs taking 30 minutes to infer the answer.

Advancements will improve AI beyond human experts and lower the costs for inference to less than $100 of compute instead of $10,000.

AI video and AI coding will continue to make leaps in capability that will be highly valuable.
