Plot the same improvements on a linear y-axis and you get steady incremental gains, impressive but not the hockey stick that triggered the panic. [...] We don't have evidence that Mythos is actually an important step towards broad superintelligence.

Quote attributed to Gary Marcus (Professor of Psychology and Neural Science, prominent AI skeptic), year 2026. Source URL (garymarcus.substack.com/p/misplaced-panic-over-ai-progress) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but two web searches confirmed both fragments verbatim: "Plot the same improvements on a linear y-axis and you get steady incremental gains, impressive but not the hockey stick that triggered the panic" and "we don't have evidence that Mythos is actually an important step towards broad superintelligence" — both from Marcus's recent Substack post "Misplaced panic over AI progress" at the exact source URL. Author attribution correct and consistent with Marcus's well-known skepticism. The [...] elision is valid. Vote alignment correct: statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" is voted "against," matching the quote downplaying the idea that current systems are an important step toward superintelligence.
