Part 1 of the Singularity Series was “Putting Brakes on the Singularity.” That essay looked at how economic and other non-technical factors will slow down the practical effects of AI, and we should question the supposedly immediate move from AGI to SAI (superintelligent AI).

In part 3, I will consider past singularities, different paces for singularities, and the difference between intelligence and speed accelerations.

In part 4, I will follow up by offering alternative models of AI-driven progress.
