Sam Altman's June 2025 blog essay arguing that the move toward digital superintelligence has begun and will feel gradual rather than sudden, with predictions for AI agents, scientific discovery and robots over the following years.
The site of Ineffable Intelligence, a London AI lab founded in late 2025 by former DeepMind reinforcement-learning lead David Silver. It aims to build a "superlearner" that learns from experience rather than human data; it raised a $1.1 billion seed round in April 2026, per CNBC. The site presents the company's mission in its own words.
A skeptical 2016 talk by Maciej Ceglowski (Idle Words) that walks through the arguments for a superintelligence-driven intelligence explosion and takes them apart. Ceglowski compares the superintelligence risk debate to the Manhattan Project question of whether the first nuclear test could ignite the atmosphere, and argues that the core premises rest on speculative leaps rather than settled science. The talk was given at Web Camp Zagreb and is published as a full text transcript.
Site of Safe Superintelligence Inc., the AI lab founded by Ilya Sutskever focused on building safe superintelligence.
Bill introduced Sept. 23, 2026 by Sen. Sanders and Rep. Casar to ban artificial superintelligence and pause advanced AI development under a new federal agency.
Why I recommend it: A proposed bill, not law. The PDF blocked my automatic check; the details come from the senator's press release.
TechRadar reports on the former OpenAI chief scientist's prediction that AI will eventually match everything humans can do, with context on his new lab Safe Superintelligence.
From the site: Scientists predict that AI will one day be able to outdo humans on not just some, but all, tasks that we currently excel in
Why I recommend it: Free to read with ads. It is a prediction from someone who runs a superintelligence company, reported second-hand — interesting as a position, not as evidence.
Personal site of the philosopher behind Superintelligence and the simulation argument, with free full-text papers on existential risk, human enhancement, anthropics and the future of AI. Many of the ideas now standard in AI risk debates started here; his work is also widely criticised, so read it alongside its critics.
From the site: Oxford philosopher (videos, papers, interviews, bio, etc.)
Why I recommend it: Read the primary source rather than summaries of it — then read the critics, several of whom are already in the hub.
