Dr_Singularity · x · 2026-08-19
The author argues the pre-AI world is never coming back: intelligence keeps getting cheaper, more abundant and more capable, accelerating science, engineering and robotics simultaneously. He claims acceleration itself will accelerate—3 months in 2027 may feel like all of 2026 compressed into one quarter—and by the time most people notice, the old world will already feel distant. This is the fastest technological transformation in human history.
