The Singularity is the Rapture in Silicon Valley’s totally-not-religion. The AI improves itself, getting smarter and smarter, until it achieves super-intelligence! And then it turns us all into pap…

the end of human history

    Day 3 after the singularity. Rate of change still the same, no warnings about light cones, and openAI still didnt make trillions of dollars.

    Worst. Singularity. Ever.

      Getting a T-Shirt that says “I entered the Singularity and all I got was a plagiarism machine, a higher cost of living and this stupid T-Shirt”

        Clearly the shirt also needs a big typo.

      @Soyweiser @dgerard
      The existence of light cones implies the existence of full-cream cones

      @Soyweiser @dgerard You can’t get all of the shiny cyberpunk over-the-top special effects when you syphoned the budget into the stockholders’ debauchery fund.

      @Soyweiser @dgerard

      What if Musk is the financial singularity?

      First he’s a trillionaire, next year he has 2 trillion, the year after that 4 trillion, and so on, until he owns more dollars than have ever existed, at which point the US treasury collapses into a black hole and is never seen again.
