Sources & credits

Source deck snapshot: 17 September 2026. Restored and revised at Greg’s direction on 30 September 2026. Selected research updates are dated below; other source claims retain their original scope.

Presentation and artwork

This edition follows Greg Baker’s Pilot-01 deck with his 30 September corrections, selected TEC v6 slides, the retained forecasting slide and a new security-incident slide. The earlier AI Futures title is restored; the 49th Floor journey and US–China–Japan slide are omitted for this presentation. API prices, incident evidence and tools lists have dated updates. The Generative AI Trends slide retains the TEC v6 two-chart layout and human-brain synapse comparison. Its parameter chart includes selected historical counts and September 2026 updates, distinguishing disclosed counts from estimates and vendor claims. The original training-data chart and illustrative 2025 projections are retained. The private host introduction and General Assembly branding are omitted.

The METR chart replots all 26 results in the latest public snapshot, dated 8 May 2026 and checked 30 September. It shows 50% success estimates and uncertainty for predominantly software, ML and cyber tasks. Estimates above 16 hours are unreliable; several newer models remain unevaluated. All charts link to their primary sources.

Narration

Selected slide narration is adapted from Greg’s 1 October 2026 session, with room logistics and participant details removed. Other slides retain their earlier speaker notes or slide text. Audio is available for those twelve adapted slides and the retained forecasting slide. It is AI-generated using Greg’s existing voice, rather than a recording of the keynote.
