  1. Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a mandman or an economist.

  2. The SCARIEST chart in AI
    Visualizing the exponential.

    This data-driven look at compute-to-intelligence ratios suggests we are entering a phase of self-improving code that exceeds all previous human projections for 2030.

  3. I came across this chapter by M. King Hubbert on "Exponential Growth as a Transient Phenomenon in Human History" written in 1976. It lays out clearly how non-renewable resources will run out and human society will go back to a steady state situation. The question is whether it will crash first or level off by transitioning to renewable energy.

    The only quibble I have with the article is they he mentions money as something that can grow exponentially for ever. Money can decouple temporarily from the physical world, but for it to be useful there needs to be some coupling. So monetary and economic growth will also end.

  4. Kurze Erinnerung:

    Exponentielles Wachstum:
    Die Veränderung beschleunigt sich ständig – die Kurve wird immer steiler.

    Logistisches Wachstum:
    Zuerst Beschleunigung (fast exponentiell), dann Abflachung durch Grenzen → S-Kurve.

    Viele Technologien wirken anfangs exponentiell, folgen langfristig aber tatsächlich einer logistischen Diffusionskurve.

    (I don't get it, how people - especially economists - are unable to grasp exponential. When I was 8 years old, I already understood, reading the oriental tale about the maker of the check-play asking the sultan for his pay in graincorns doubling each field on the check table. Of course the sultan went broke at the middle of the table. How can anyone not grasp that? o.O)

  6. 🚀🧠 "Large Language Models Are Improving Exponentially," they proclaimed, as their servers collapsed under the weight of their own irony—403 Forbidden! The real exponential growth here is in error messages. 😆👌

  7. Do we have too many people on Earth as it is?

    My opinion to this question: youtube.com/watch?v=P9gRdOeRg7

    Yes. Currently, there are too many people with bad habits on this planet!

    So don't force women to have babies for pensions, ...

    ...but also don't resort to genocide or random forced sterilisation or one baby legislation.. or any such measure.

  8. Another very interesting read by Erin Remblance, “How does degrowth apply to our minds?”

    “[…] those of us in the global north are taking from both countries in the global south and future generations to fuel our lifestyles today.”

  11. The AI honeymoon is over, but its impact has barely begun. What happens when we no longer interact with AI on discrete tasks, but it's pervasive in our work? We’ll reach that reality faster than we did with the digital revolution. Ian Beacraft explores the ability and practices of AI-enabled individuals and teams to provide exponential value.

  12. If I drive 10km/h for 5 min, then increase my speed by 10%, continue for the next 5 min, speed up by 10% again, how far have I gone after 2 hours? How is it different if I speed up 10% after every passed km?

  13. “The subtlety of it is pretty insidious. Like some kind of distributed long con, played out over and over, in the midst of so many millions of other simultaneous ones.”

  14. Daniel Schmachtenberger talks about the "metacrisis".

    "Change your Feed that you always remember what to change."

    That's why I changed my social Medium to #mastodon, that's why I use another Money system, that's why Focus on opportunities instead of fear.

  16. 😯Wait, what!? #AI is not growing exponentially, but has reached it's plateau!?

    How can that be!? This is such a surprise! Oh my!😱

  17. Another group of Change that happens quickly and continues to grow. The growing that happens begins to happen faster and faster than it did at the start. The number of people in the world is a good way to understand this. It grows faster and faster than it did before. [K. A.]
