AGI delayed: capability plateau or AI winter
Prediction text
AGI does not occur within 5-year horizon. Reasons could include compute scaling diminishing returns, alignment / regulatory constraints, capability winter 2027-2030. Resolution: Dec 2036 (out-of-horizon, flagged for review).
Predictor calibration
This node has no predictor assigned. Default κ=0.5 applies to any intake evidence about it.
Reference class
This node isn't linked to a reference class. The Bayesian update applies without outside-view blending.
Probability over time
Milestone chain
No milestone chain derived yet. Run scripts/ops/derive_milestones.py to populate from prereq edges + window checkpoints.
What if this resolves?
Click a button to clamp this prediction and run a Gibbs sample. Returns the predictions whose marginals shift most. ~30s per run; ideal for stress-testing "if X resolves, what else moves?"
Evidence chain
No probability history yet. The first evidence will arrive via /api/intake or the daily milestone sweep / weekly LBP run.
Network propagation neighbors
No propagation data yet. Run inference/.venv/bin/python scripts/ops/run_loopy_belief_propagation.py on the droplet, or wait for the Sunday 02:00 UTC weekly cron.
