*Perhaps I should've linked this article instead: *


*Something Big Is Happening
<https://x.com/mattshumer_/status/2021256989876109403>*

*Because the video is about that article. I didn't originally link to the
article because it is rather long and I thought the video would be more
digestible. **Unlike the video the article did not contain an exclamation
point, but if even 5% of what it says is true then I believe it would be
entirely appropriate to use one. *

*By the way, the article is only talking about the AI improvements that
occurred during the last month, and yet it got over 47 million views in 24
hours, so the author must be seeing something big that resonates with what
a lot of other people are also seeing. There is no proof that we are in the
foothills of the Singularity, but the foothills of the singularity are
going to look very much like this. *
