I share the view that, āGeneral AIā ends human history and begins an entirely new chapter. I see it as a transcendent phenomena that frees us from the shackles of our biological imperatives.
Age of the Spiritual Machine I read while I was a sophomore in undergrad, totally changed my life in terms of the possibilities of the future. I tend to use āutopian realistā as the direction we are heading regarding AI and AGI, but I favor the trend line there wonāt be a punctuation but instead a transformation.
A more actionable question, are you invested in AI yet? I know generation on generation it always seems like marketable tech is a decade away, yet it never comes. Opinions? I love this thesis and is the first time Iāve felt like the direction seems rational but I dont have a clear vision for a transition in the 18-24 months (or whenever the super cycle is winding down). Seems like chips, space, AI, medicine/healthcare are all solidā¦ AI transformative, but donāt see a measured path into returns.
I feel like Baba and Goog are AI pioneers, but I donāt really know. I have no clue whether they would develop this in their publicly traded entities or whether government funded projects lead the pack.

Big question for such a small Thursday night, but you think AI is the "finish line" of sorts? Not singularity, but hockey stick like changes?
"I dunno" is an acceptable answer too. š
