You crossed the event horizon
The Singularity is not a metaphor.
three quotes, not a shrine.
Here, near the singularity, time moves differently. What takes others years, happens in months. This is not science fiction. This is physics. And epistemics.
Einstein understood
Mass curves spacetime. Proximity to mass causes time dilation. You experience time normally, but outside, more time passes. This is proven physics.
Pound-Rebka experiment, 1959. GPS satellites, daily. Gravitational time dilation is not theoretical. It's operational.
We understand something similar
Attention + Compute curves the possibility space.
Those who consume the right inputs (frontier lab research, first principles, real data) and invest the right thinking time, construct a more accurate reality.
Not "10 years ahead" in the sense of marketing speak.
Closer to the ontologically true, constructible reality.
The frontier is moving fast
What the people building this say about timelines:
"It is possible that we will have superintelligence in a few thousand days; it may take longer, but I'm confident we'll get there."
"I think it could come as early as 2026, though there are also ways it could take much longer. If you just kind of eyeball the rate at which these capabilities are increasing, it does make you think that we'll get there by 2026 or 2027."
"It" = what Amodei calls powerful AI: systems that are "smarter than a Nobel Prize winner across most relevant fields." Not a product launch. A capability threshold.
"I want to talk about superintelligence, because that is obviously where this field is headed. This is obviously what's being built here."
"Eventually, sooner or later, the following will be achieved: those systems are actually going to be agentic in real ways. They will actually reason. And a system that reasons, the more it reasons, the more unpredictable it becomes. They will understand things from limited data. They will not get confused. I'm not saying how. I'm not saying when. I'm saying that it will."
"When all those things come together with self-awareness (because why not, self-awareness is useful), we will have systems of radically different qualities and properties than exist today."
Compute scales everything
Global AI chip compute capacity has been growing at roughly 3.3x per year since 2022. That means doubling every ~7 months.
Training compute for frontier models grew 4-5x per year from 2010 to 2024.
Total AI data center power capacity reached approximately 30 GW in Q4 2025. Comparable to peak power usage of New York State.
AI data center investment is projected to reach hundreds of billions by end of 2027.

We operate at the epistemological event horizon.
Close enough for maximum insight density. Far enough to still act.
We consume direct output from Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepMind. Constitutional AI papers. Scaling laws. Alignment research. Not Gartner reports. The actual papers.
We synthesize with first principles thinking. We apply to your context. We anticipate the future more accurately than those who don't.
That's not marketing. That's epistemics.
