The case could be made that the advent of Sora 2 is a pretty powerful ping from a looming technological Singularity. The future could be pretty strange in some surreal and beautiful ways.
Which, of course, is pretty much the definition of a Singularity.
Anyway, we clearly are not ready for some of the quirkier elements of the potentially looming Singularity. I mean, high quality faux video really is the stuff of scifi. And it’s going to take a while for our culture to understand what the fuck we’re going to do with this next technology.
This happens in the context of there seemingly being a general lull in LLM development. I used to be convinced that the Singularity — in this case ASI — would happen in a few years, maybe 2027.
But now…I don’t know. I think there maybe a “wall” and, as such, the Singularity may be a lot more gradual than I expected. Instead of ASI gods walking around, telling us what to do, we will all just have Knowledge Navigators that lurk in our smartphones.
Who knows.
