At the beginning of 2023, I wrote down some thoughts about “the Singularity”. This was, in no small measure, influenced by the novelty of ChatGPT at the time.

It’s worth considering what we’re committed to, and the mindsets we’re embracing, while there’s still some opportunity to organize around a common ground.

A description of the opensource technology that may be the most anthropically aligned route of acceleration that we experience in the imminent future.

The focal balance of intermediation: an entity or element can internalize production & grow to meet the consumer base of any decentralized, autonomous market.

While classic history treats industrialized economics as the final halting problem, & geopolitical experts predicting the halt, it's time for analysis.

ChatGPT has kickstarted a conversation about the societal impact of AI. Before we conclude that this is the Singularity, let's look at the facts.

Let’s be honest, the two options of ponzinomics and grindhell make short-term, zero-sum sense from a supplier’s point of view, but they’re provably terrible for a longterm ecosystem. Likewise, longterm economies that can be treated as a game are also capable of being unraveled by those mechanics. Here’s the thing. There’s a lot of hard work in “Main Street” economics, and there’s a lot of diligence and competition in computer science. Somewhere along the way of modernization, we created such complexity in both fields that no one could fully comprehend the breadth of either. Unfortunately, in many of these fields, a common bluff formed: if the underlying product could be formalized or capitalized, there would be some leverage in the confidence of the end consumer.

Network collectives are a continuation of the most scalable form of organization, if they are open, competitive, and recycled.
