@EigenGender — 5h can't believe it's 2026 and the predictions at the end of ai 2027 haven't come true yet complete superforecaster defeat
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A sardonic one-line tweet mocking the "AI 2027" forecast document for predicting dramatic AI developments that (as of this 2026 tweet) have not yet materialized, framed ironically as a defeat for superforecasters.

Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A joking-but-pointed tweet about AI capability self-assessment being systematically too conservative (an "overhang" between what models could do and what they attempt), riffing on a quoted tweet about Claude downscoping ambitious plans into "easy wins." Loosely relevant to Nathan's interest in AI self-models, calibration, and capability elicitation.
