AI Superforecasters?!
What was said
"We claim that level has arrived. It's all very sudden, you know. We've been operating this company for about 3 years, and it's really in the last 6 months that these things have started to really scare and impress us in their capabilities."
Dan Schwartz of FutureSearch claims AI forecasters have crossed the threshold to superhuman performance, matching or beating top human experts on ForecastBench and Metaculus tournaments. The capability emerged rapidly in the last six months with models like Claude Fable. Scott Alexander validated the claims in a recent post titled 'The AI Superforecasters Are Here.'
