Logan Kilpatrick, a product manager at Google, suggests a new approach to AI may offer a direct route to artificial superintelligence (ASI).
Kilpatrick claims that focusing solely on ASI, rather than intermediate milestones, is becoming increasingly feasible.
He points to the success of scaling up test-time compute as a promising indicator of progress towards ASI.
Kilpatrick acknowledges that while **artificial general intelligence** (AGI) is still a goal, its realization may resemble a product release rather than a dramatic breakthrough.
He notes a shift in perspective towards a more direct strategy, reflecting on views of OpenAI cofounder Ilya Sutskever, who advocates for a focused approach to achieving superintelligence.
