In the years before the singularity, humanity quibbled as ever, took a final whiff of patriarchic fascism, poured previously insurmountable sums into data centers and novel semiconductors; then everything changed.
Progress, as imagined by our industrial ancestors, accelerated in an unimaginable manner. Within a few months we observed thousand-fold increases in biomedical and engineering publications, authored by various ai models and scrutinized by human researchers desperate to prove their continued relevance. The whole episode lasted about a year, until all disciplines in the natural sciences stopped using human-comprehensible languages or mathematics.
Like the wind, ai systems have become an integral and natural part of our world, touching and moving everything, if only ever a little. The future holds endless wonder, our planet is projected to sustain a stable ecosystem for millions of years, humans thrive in ever-grander artistic explorations lacking neither want nor need.
