The “singularity” is here — according to Sam Altman, who we’d wager has an ulterior motive behind promoting this claim.
The OpenAI CEO harbingered this sea-changing paradigm shift on a podcast over the weekend.
“We are now, like, in the singularity,” Altman said on the latest episode of “Relentless,” as spotted by Business Insider.
Definitions vary, but the singularity is generally defined as the moment that the capabilities of thinking machines might start to accelerate at a pace beyond humankind’s control, possibly leading to the creation of a powerful superintelligence.
