Back in 2020, I re-read “The Singularity is Near” by Ray Kurzweil. At the time, much of what he described—AI breakthroughs, brain-computer interfaces, and human-machine integration—felt like distant dreams. Sure, we’d made some strides, but it still seemed a long way off.
Fast forward to today, and things are moving at a breathtaking pace. Since then, we’ve seen GPT-4, and more recently o1, push the boundaries of what AI language models can do, and Neuralink’s “Telepathy” technology making direct brain-to-computer communication a reality. Not to mention that self-driving cabs are out and about, bringing autonomous transportation to our streets. And this is just the tip of the iceberg…
As I picked up “The Singularity is Nearer”, I can’t help but feel that the “fantastic future” Kurzweil envisioned is no longer a distant speculation but an imminent reality. The merging of human potential and AI capabilities is on our doorstep, opening possibilities that seemed like pure science fiction just a few years ago.

Two tracks about the same hopeful handover: the moment vehicles begin taking human error out of transport, first with supervised driving and then with rides you can simply summon.

The future just landed in the EU 🤖🚗 Netherlands gave the green light to self-driving yesterday — and the rest of Europe is next. I made a whole trap track about this moment before it happened. Hands free. Eyes free. Mind released. 🎵 Stream “Hands Free” — link in bio.

Hope @davidasinclair won't object to the name drop in the latest Future Martian track "Crack the Figure" about beating aging! 🔈

Hej Balázs and Patrik 👋
We’re curious: what’s the focus for the Code Adjacent track 2026?
“Code Adjacent is where code becomes a force shaping physical, biological, and societal systems. In 2026 we’re looking at everything from neurotechnology to climate-scale computation.”
Still thinking about it? 👀
