⚡ The contrast:
• Humans: 3.5M yrs → ~70 yrs/stage
• AI: 60 yrs → 5–15 yrs/stage

We aren’t just building tools. We’re watching Artificial Darwinism — evolution at machine speed.

Will we be architects… or just observers?

Humans took millions of years to evolve into modern civilization. 🧬
AI is compressing the same arc into decades. 🤖

Let’s compare their evolutionary paths, stage by stage — Humans vs AI. 🧵

Stage 6: Information Age

🧬 Humans (70 yrs ago–now, ~70 yrs): Computers, internet, AI amplify cognition. Culture races biology.

🤖 AI (2050+, open-ended): Multi-agent networks form norms, protocols, even digital civilizations.

One paper in 1943 started the AI revolution.

McCulloch and Pitts' work led to McCulloch joining MIT in 1952 and helping organize the first AI conference at Dartmouth in 1956.

But the story of how they did it is even MORE incredible.

Here's what happened:🧵

TIL: "Artificial Intelligence" was coined in 1956 by Dartmouth College😮

John McCarthy was then a mathematics professor.
