With the data center slowdown coming after the election, I find this post increasingly likely. There’s way more incentive in a path that seems eminently doable. I consider this in line with the acceleration in AECI from the recent METR report. Coding agents and inference compute changes how we work — giving an acceleration in our battle against scaling laws’ exponentials. It doesn’t mean more accelerations are inevitable.
Nathan Lambert expects rapid AI progress but not toward unchecked acceleration
AINathan Lambert says a data center slowdown after the election makes a slower-growth path increasingly likely. He links this view to the acceleration in AECI from a recent METR report, arguing that coding agents and inference compute are changing how work gets done.
