Situational Awareness (esej Aschenbrennera)

A long essay by a former OpenAI employee arguing that AGI will arrive by 2027, with superintelligence shortly thereafter. It influenced the timeline discourse in Silicon Valley and policy circles. Related to the concept of situational awareness in models (a separate entry), but it is a distinct artifact — a manifesto, not an evaluation.
