Prediction AI compute, hardware and data

Dario Amodei does not expect RL training for longer-horizon tasks to require a substantial amount of additional compute.

Unresolvable The public record could not settle it.

Prediction: Statements about events outside the person's control, checked once they fell due: did they come true?

Reasoning

Prediction with no horizon and vague 'substantial' compute threshold.
