Sam Altman says we are already in the singularity, arguing that AI progress is now a continuous exponential rather than a single dramatic turning point.
He says there will be no obvious announcement moment; instead, capability gains arrive, people adapt within weeks, and each new level becomes the baseline. He connects that view to his earlier “The Gentle Singularity” framing, where the world still looks normal on the surface even as the systems underneath keep accelerating.
