  "transcript": "For years now it felt like the singularity was my niche thing, that I was the guy in the meme standing in the corner while everyone was dancing. Now suddenly everyone has stopped dancing and is freaking out.\n\nIt's just surreal watching mainstream TV news anchors or newspaper journalists talking about ASI, existential risk, P-Doom, exponential growth. I just watched a clip from a British breakfast TV show where the middle aged female presenter was arguing with the AI expert guest that she believes this technology is different from nuclear weapons as it has inbuilt super intelligence and it will able to control itself she thinks in years.\n\nHow the hell did everyone become so versed in all this stuff in the space of a week? It's actually starting to freak me out even more now everyone else is freaking out.\n\n  \n\\*Title should say \"Whole World\"\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[145 upvotes] Things are finally getting weird \n\n[68 upvotes] I always knew this whole singularity thing was gonna happen but it's another thing to watch as it happens.\n\n[52 upvotes] Hugging face was a nation state level attack to game a benchmark. Woke people up.\n\n[47 upvotes] Who else was interested in the singularity pre llms? I imagine Kurzweil was the beginning for a lot of us. Its definitely surreal seeing it come to fruition in a short period of time. Right on schedule even.",
