I agree. I think an economic singularity should be a given, based on the fact that all economic ROI is at least exponential (pe^(rt)) and has consistently performed exponentially for over 100 years.
The notion that this will mean a happiness singularity, complete freedom of choice for everyone, or even human survival are up for debate.
- skybrian 8y agoExponential curves have a tendency to turn into S-curves when fundamental limits are reached. Aircraft might be the most obvious example. Moore's law is looking that way as well. We can expect this to be true of other business models as well; the question is where the limits are.
