alt Hacker News“Weak singularity” meaning what?
Technology advancing more quickly year over year?
That’s a crazy notion and I’ll be sure everyone knows.
Also, what a wild thing to say. “People like you deserve to live in poverty because you don’t think we live in a sci-fi world.”
Calm down, dude.

The version I heard from an economist was something akin to a second industrial revolution, where the pace of technological development increases permanently. Imagine a transition from Moore's law-style doubling every year and a half, to doubling every week and a half. That wouldn't be a true "singularity" (nothing would be infinite), but it would be a radical change to our lives.
