davidad: algorithm, hardware, and manufacturing RSI loops will each bring new inflection points
davidad · x · 2026-09-13
Follow-up in davidad's thread on R1-Zero and "data criticality": besides data, there are other kinds of criticality — algorithms (happening now), hardware, energy, construction. AI growth is piecewise-exponential, not superexponential, with a new inflection point each time an RSI loop closes. And once the first recipe is published, "the cat has been out of the bag this whole time."
