Jack Clark says singularity has begun, citing AI test scores

Clark highlighted a recent TheoPhysEval paper with 50 unpublished theoretical‑physics questions, where GPT‑6‑Astra initially scored in the late eighties and ultimately achieved 98% (49/50) after correcting expert answers. He also noted that Anthropic researchers now produce almost 10 times the amount of code compared with the company’s first four years. The speech warned that such scientific capability could accelerate economic growth—potentially pushing US GDP to 44 trillion by 2030—but also raise security and governance risks.

The talk called for governments to expand electricity, data‑center, and robotic infrastructure, and to craft rules that balance rapid progress with safety, especially in fields like biology and cybersecurity.
