Tech grows exponentially while human capacity is linear. When the curves cross, no one knows what comes next.
Von Neumann foresaw this decades ago:
“The ever accelerating progress of technology … gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity … beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue.”
An Event Horizon is approaching. Shit is gonna get weird. Do your research 🔬
When exponential tech meets linear humans, everything changes. Fascinating and terrifying.
Well we're dramatising a lot of this singularity claims. Think of the Roman transition from a republic to an empire. The French and Bolshevik revolutions. We now know what happened after their occurrence, nobody knew upfront. Don't underestimate humanity's resilience to whatever you may consider to be good or bad at a certain moment in time.
