Summary
The piece argues that the technological singularity is an ongoing illusion and that exponential progress is continuous, not a discrete event. It critiques Kurzweil's predictions, shows that perceptions of a looming singularity arise from how exponential growth is graphed, and emphasizes that transitions are imperceptible in real time and detectable mainly in hindsight. The article invites readers to rethink AI futures, governance, and strategic planning in tech-driven organizations.
