[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

The AI Singularity

The argument goes like this:

1. Humans build an AGI.
2. The AGI becomes good at AI research.
3. It designs a smarter AI.
4. That smarter AI designs an even smarter AI.
5. The cycle repeats faster and faster.

Looking at the results and capabilities from the various labs over the past few weeks I would say we are firmly in this loop now.

The next 18months will be wild.

Recursive self improvement will dramatically increase capability very quickly from here.

Marginal costs of all models will go to ~$0.

Chamath Palihapitiya: "In Silicon Valley, I think it's fair to say we have had a lost decade… In one example, you have Elon. He's created reusable rocketry… electric cars… [while] fighting the government… We've created AirPods and Instagram Reels."
