Researcher Declares Frontier AI Already Exhibits Superhuman Intelligence
He argues society has not internalized this technological milestone
Entities: Joshua Achiam
In a post on X, researcher Joshua Achiam argued that "frontier AI is already way smarter than almost everyone" and that "superhuman intelligence is here," framing the real point as a failure to absorb what current systems can already do. The claim landed as a provocation rather than a new paper or product release. So far, the public evidence in the visible conversation is the post itself and the argument around it, not a fresh benchmark or announcement that settles the question.

There is some real sense in which frontier AI is already way smarter than almost everyone; superhuman intelligence is here. I'm not sure we have collectively internalized this
"and this is the worst it will ever be"

@jachiam0 I'm not sure if it is "smarter" or just about having a lot more energy/attention span bounded by inference compute.
@sriramk The net effect is the same, I think.
