> No, it does not. It assumes there will be progress in AI. It does not assume that progress will be in LLMs

I mean, for the specific case of the 2027 doomsday prediction, it really does have to be LLMs at this point, just given the timeframes. It is true that the 'rationalist' AI doomerism thing doesn't depend LLMs, and in fact predates transformer-based models, but for the 2027 thing, it's gotta be LLMs.
