Chamath Declares AI Singularity Has Begun: Recursive Self-Improvement Underway
markjeffrey · x · 2026-08-03
Investor Chamath argues that we are now firmly in the AI Singularity loop. The cycle involves humans building AGI, which then masters AI research to design progressively smarter AIs at an accelerating pace.
Based on recent capabilities demonstrated by various AI labs, he predicts the next 18 months will be wild. He believes recursive self-improvement will dramatically increase AI capabilities, driving the marginal cost of all models to near zero.
