Part 15/17:
Rethinking the Singularity: Is It Discontinuous or Continuous?
A core debate revolves around whether the singularity will be a sharp discontinuity—an event horizon—beyond which we cannot predict or understand, or whether it is a gradual, continuous process. Several experts suggest that from within the system, progress appears smooth, even though from an external vantage point, it looks abrupt.
The consensus among the Moonshot crew is that we're already in the midst of the singularity—living through its unfolding, rather than ahead of it. As AI becomes more integrated into every aspect of life, the boundary between human and machine intelligence blurs, making the concept of a sudden event less relevant than the ongoing, incremental transformation.
