Smale’s 18th Problem and Intelligence Science 2
summary
Claim: AI reaches near-AGI effects in years not decades, with coding automation able to handle the majority of standard programming tasks within about a year and 60–90% of coders displaced; a working digital twin of a wet lab with robots replaces many bench experiments and motivates "one robotic lab" facilities instead of new buildings. Emphasis on world models, long and short term memory, memristors and neurotropic computing as the concrete technical threads linking math to learning and the asserted inevitability of AI consciousness.
