I shared Alexander Quinn talking about the singularity, and I shared Mark Atwood talking about Elon Musk talking about the singularity.
They're using the same word for two different things. Alexander Quinn is talking about timelines tuning into each other. Now I haven't watched his video that he made about it yet. I probably will, but Alexander Quinn is not talking about AI. And Elon Musk is. The singularity in the context of AI is when AI can write itself quicker and faster than humans can, and AI takes the upper hand. That's what that means. In that context
And interesting enough, as I'm writing this message, I'm having a sneezing fit. If Elon says we've reached the singularity on the 22nd of July and Alexander says the singularity is the 26th of July, then we are in the in-between.
But here's the thing: we're only in the in-between of what they have postulated. And by giving them power (and I'm not saying anything bad about Alexander Quinn or Elon Musk), but giving them the power to tell us what we're in means we're handing our power over to them.
What do we want for our lives? I always say, "Create the world you want to live in." What are you creating for you, for your world?
Rather than debating over whether Elon is right or Alexander Quinn is right, or whether we're in a singularity or whether we aren't, I think it will be much more beneficial and much more powerful to say "I'm sovereign. I choose responsibility, and I take the consequences of my actions, and I am going to live the life I always wanted."
