Venture Capitalist Mary Meeker Documents Unprecedented Speed of AI Revolution and Adoption

Skynet Chance (+0.04%): The unprecedented speed of AI development and deployment reduces time for safety considerations and proper alignment research. Rapid competitive pressure and mass adoption create conditions where control mechanisms may be inadequately developed.

Skynet Date (-1 days): The documented acceleration in AI capabilities, infrastructure development, and competitive dynamics significantly speeds up the timeline for potential risks. The report emphasizes this pace is faster than any previous technology revolution, compressing normal development timelines.

AGI Progress (+0.03%): The massive scale of investment, rapid capability improvements, and unprecedented adoption rates indicate substantial progress toward AGI. The 99% cost reduction in inference and 105,000x energy efficiency improvements in chips demonstrate meaningful capability scaling.

AGI Date (-1 days): The report's emphasis on "unprecedented" pace across all AI development metrics strongly suggests AGI timelines are accelerating. Competitive pressure and massive infrastructure investments are compressing typical technology development cycles significantly.
