I find myself thinking a lot about what the next 9/11 might be. It seems as though, relative to the ebb and flow of macro history that January 6th was the successor to 9/11.
And, yet, I still find myself wondering about what the next 9/11 might be. It seems like the Singularity might be it. It would be totally a “day the earth stood still” type event.
I still, however, struggle to figure out what, exactly, such a Singularity would look like. The core of the Singularity it seems is exponential recursive self-improvement on the part of an AI.
But beyond that, I honestly don’t know what might happen. I poke and prod LLMs about giving me a “tick-tock” about such things, but, lulz, even they don’t know. Anyway, it will be interesting to see what happens.
