| It sounds ‘the singularity is near’ not so much because AI is reaching escape velocity forward, but because we’re systematically pushing humans back beyond the threshold where computers are legible? |

| I think about this a lot. From the POV of a medieval peasant, we likely reached the singularity a long time ago. |

| ▲ | ludwik 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | You both seem to be using a different definition of "singularity" from the one I'm familiar with. I've always understood it to mean a rapid feedback loop in which AI creates successive, increasingly capable generations of AI outside human control, rather than simply a level of technological advancement that would be incomprehensible to someone | | |
