In "Situational Awareness: The Decade Ahead", Leopold Aschenbrenner predicts a US-government led project to build AGI in 2027/2028:

Somewhere around 26/27 or so, the mood in Washington will become somber. People will start to viscerally feel what is happening; they will be scared. From the halls of the Pentagon to the backroom Congressional briefings will ring the obvious question, the question on everybody’s minds: do we need an AGI Manhattan Project?
...
by late 26/27/28 it will be underway.

This market resolves YES if all of the following are true about a US government project:

  • "The core AGI research team (a few hundred researchers) will move to a secure location". For this market, we will use "at least 200 researchers" in place of "a few hundred researchers".

  • The project is "primarily in the domain of national security".

  • A "trillion-dollar [AI] cluster will be built". For this resolution criterion, there will need to be an outlay of a trillion dollars for compute in the project before market close.

These conditions are very high. $1T training cluster in particular is a very high bar to meet by 2029.

Problem is such projects tend to be secret so any no resolution would be quite controversial

Maybe before 2031? Not sure about before 2029

Maybe Ilya is already running it 🙃
