Independent AI writer Andrew Curran highlights how singularity expectations have spread from San Francisco tech circles into federal government and enterprise settings after a post claimed the threshold is crossed
Ethan Mollick compares the moment to the Industrial Revolution.
#175Ethan Mollick@EMOLLICKIn the original von Neumann sense of a singularity as the point "beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue," it seems true
By definition, we can't know what that means in advance (it was also true of the Industrial Revolution, which reordered human affairs)
Also prinz should have more followers. He's very clever. I turn things over with him in gc sometimes. I have a recurring issue where I imagine the future without friction, so it's good to talk it over with others before I post about it.
Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_You best start believing in singularities, you're in one.
