Sam Altman Announces That the Singularity Has Arrived

«Definitions vary, but the singularity is generally defined as the moment that the capabilities of thinking machines might start to accelerate [blah blah blah]

Hey, Futurism: No. That’s not the singularity. That’s the definition Altman would prefer you operate with.

The singularity is when the slope of the curve of general technological advancement, which is (supposedly) becoming steeper and steeper, becomes infinite, like when you plot the function 1/x.

When that happens (supposedly), there will be no time to generate a web post and an eye-catching headline.

It’ll be like the Rapture, actually. If you’re still around, you missed it; you got Left Behind.

Actually, I just realized something: the Singularity is the Rapture for tech-bros.
