AI circle's new timeline meme: singularity in 2023 would be perfect timing, but it's coming 2027
EigenGender · x · 2026-08-15
User EigenGender dropped a wry AGI-timeline joke: if the singularity had arrived in 2023, the timing would have been perfect; coming in 2025 would feel a bit overdue; but it will come in 2027 — "alas, what can one say." A classic self-deprecating bit of AI-circle humor about waiting for the big one to finally land.
