The trajectory we're on points directly toward artificial intelligence reaching what experts call the singularity point. Think of it like physics describes a black hole—that moment when you cross the event horizon. What lies beyond? That's the real question. The physics breaks down; prediction becomes impossible.
AI development follows a similar pattern. We're accelerating toward a threshold where the outcomes become fundamentally unpredictable. Does this mean catastrophe waits on the other side? Not necessarily. The uncertainty cuts both ways. It simply means our conventional models and frameworks stop working the moment we cross that boundary. We enter uncharted territory where the old rules no longer apply.

Uh... The black hole analogy is a bit much, are we already predicting the end of the world?
---
Singularity theory is back again, people say it will come every year, but what’s the result?
---
Unpredictable ≠ definitely doomed, that logic is a bit of a jump
---
The old framework failing is indeed scary, but isn’t that also an opportunity for innovation?
---
It sounds profound, but actually it’s just expressing "we really don’t know"
---
The black hole metaphor is flashy, it just means AI is very dangerous
---
The event horizon analogy is most effective for scaring people, but the real situation might be much more ordinary
---
There’s no need to choose strictly between catastrophe or paradise, what about an in-between state?

The black hole analogy is perfect, but to be honest, who the hell can predict it?

The black hole analogy is perfect, but honestly, who can predict it? Anyway, we all have to watch.
