Sam Altman has made his verdict unusually plain: “We are now in the singularity.” The evidence supports a narrower conclusion. Humanity has entered a period of fast, compounding AI-assisted progress, especially in software and research. Current systems still depend on people to choose goals, build training systems, judge results and decide what deserves pursuit. Altman’s “gentle singularity” has begun under his definition; the classical version remains unproven.What exactly did Sam Altman say about the singularity?About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.
As a technology journalist with over sixteen years of experience, I have travelled the world and the seven seas, covered every major tech conference worth its lanyard, chronicled the defining breakthroughs of the last decade and a half, and played a pivotal role in launching some of India’s most important technology publishing platforms across web, print and TV.
