Google's SHOCKING "POST AGI" paper...

Google DeepMind researchers argue that human-level AGI is merely a stepping stone toward Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). They identify four distinct pathways to reach this threshold, emphasizing that biological intelligence likely has a hard ceiling, while digital intelligence can scale indefinitely through compute, algorithmic shifts, and recursive self-improvement.
Key insight: The paper suggests that reaching human-level intelligence does not imply a plateau; rather, it is highly unlikely that humans represent the apex of possible intelligence, given that digital systems can bypass biological limitations like processing speed and substrate dependence.
