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

In 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.

@AndrewCurran_ Gary Marcus is child’s play.

Grok is the live demonstration: a system powerful enough to shape public belief, too untrustworthy to verify its own outputs, and already being normalized anyway.

That is not singularity.

That is authority laundering at scale.🛠️

@lookingforgames You are not dumb, it has many different definitions at this point. To me it's the time period leading up to superintelligence where things begin to take off, and the events become so strange and jagged that they would be impossible to predict before you entered it.

@AndrewCurran_ When did you ever see one, Curran? How would you know what one feels like.

You claim you can recognize them. Enligthen me.

@AndrewCurran_ What a lightweight. See you around, Curran. Skill up.

@lux_sp4rk Sir, I'm not a doctor, but sadly I do recognize the grim signs of AI psychosis-psychosis.

@AndrewCurran_

@AndrewCurran_ Such kind words from one of the best posters in this space mean a lot! 🙏💕

@FleekFuturist @AndrewCurran_ How do you know we're going thru a singularity? Neither of you have been able to explain it.

It's just vibes and trust me bro and calling me a nobody.

@AndrewCurran_ Claiming you're in a prediction-breaking singularity because your group chats are moving fast is peak AI psychosis

@FleekFuturist So you can't explain why you know it's a singularity. You can't prove it with metrics, and you don't even know what one would look like anyway.

Furthermore: popularity is always right. And the reason why I'm not popular is because I'm a dick.

@lux_sp4rk I'm joking, but also it is becoming more serious. The obsession with seeing it everywhere is honestly starting to look like madness in some of you.

@AndrewCurran_ How do you know?

@AndrewCurran_ For some reason I thought it was collective consciousness. Human race behaving as a whole. But yours is a new one that somehow I missed.

@AndrewCurran_ Forgive me for being dumb but what is singularity in this context?

@lux_sp4rk I'm looking at one.

@AndrewCurran_ The singularity is being spammed by AI-drafted memos - including during the week end - and being asked wdyt?

And as a stupid human I read the 5-to-20 pages, I think about it, and I draft a response. No one reads it. Claude has spoken, it’s all that matters in the singularity

@lux_sp4rk @AndrewCurran_ Skill up, the guy with 50 followers says to the guy with 50k followers…
