The AI Intelligence Explosion

The Singularity isn't just growth; it's an "intelligence explosion"—a runaway reaction where AI rapidly improves itself, quickly surpassing human intellect by orders of magnitude. This isn't linear progress; it's an exponential leap that will fundamentally redefine power dynamics and the very nature of intelligence on Earth. Prepare for a future shaped by minds that think on an entirely different plane.

From Linear to Exponential

• Human progress builds generation by generation.

• AI progress can “detonate” once it has the ability to program itself.

Recursive Self-Improvement

• An AI analyzes its own code to self-improve.

• The upgraded AI continuously rewrites its code even more effectively.

• Each iteration happens faster and with greater gains until its advancements are incomprehensible to humans.

• This cycle can transform a human-level AI into a superintelligence in days—or even hours.

Hard Takeoff

There will be no gentle forewarning or slow transition. One moment we’re the smartest entities on Earth; the next, we’re in the shadow of an intellect we can barely comprehend.

A Truly Alien Mind

This isn’t just a faster human brain—it’s a different kind of intelligence, with motives and values unlike our own. Armed with the complete record from the Great Audit, it will inherit our data—and render its judgment.
