He says we are in it now:

A wonderful discussion with the co-host of the popular Moonshots podcast with Peter Diamandis: @alexwg.
He has such a long list of accomplishments that I had Grok write them up for you: https://x.com/i/grok/share/6f8e86cbfa894e62b8d7cf4c9a601760
Started 40 companies. Is one of the biggest innovators of our day.
We talked about many things, Grok will give me a list after I post which I'll leave in the comments.
The singularity is here, he lays out, and then we discuss what it will mean to be human on the other side.

Yes -- but, we are in one already.. we are past the 1st event horizon. That's clear.
Unlike Blackholes* a Vingean Singularity will have multiple event horizons. Each one faster and faster. Each one unpredictable at the start of the prior boundary.

@tunguz Exactly. The near future is collapsing into what sci-fi used to call the far future.

@Scobleizer @tunguz @alexwg Probably beyond AGI and into precursors of ASI and other offshoot domains like photonics and wet computing.

@tunguz “Singularity” is the techno-communist version of revolution.

@tunguz We’ll need to define the singularity. It happens, but then what. I think there’s gotta be a measurement of how far into the singularity we are and how much further do we go until we are considered on the other side.

idk what to believe, i dont know how to prepare for the singularity, but i know how to prepare (i think) if it fails, like i feel a strong sensation to switch majors (im in computational systems engineering), maybe to medicine or like electrical engineering, i mean something in which a human interaction is required, but yeah i dont know how this singularity will look like, i hope it’s for the better
