Shorten your timelines, friends. I started this account to say this, and in many ways everything I've posted for the past four years has been saying the same thing. Some of you increasingly feel it. We passed the threshold in November. We are already inside the singularity.

If you've followed this account for a long time, I apologize for losing my mind a few times. Using GPT-3.5 and then Bing forced me to update on all of this at once in one shot. The wave of change is so big that thinking about it sent me into future shock for about three months.

I said at the time that even if we had stopped all capability advances at GPT-4, once inference came down/applications were written, that would be enough to completely change the world. We are leagues beyond that now, 95% of that change is still sitting unrealized in the system.

Three-tweet thread from Andrew Curran (@AndrewCurran_) declaring that the singularity threshold was passed in November, reflecting on past 'future shock' from GPT-3.5/Bing, and arguing 95% of GPT-4-level capability's real-world impact is still unrealized.

Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_ Current state of AI capabilities discourse: "My friend works at that biolab over there. He just discovered a cure for cancer. He did all the research solo." "Wow, your friend must be brilliant—a real genius!" "No, he's an idiot. I've known him since we were kids. He never learned to tie his shoes." "...but he just discovered a cure for cancer." "Yeah, but he can't tie his own shoes." 5:45 PM · May 22, 2026 · 2,326 Views
Note from Claude Sonnet 5

A satirical joke about the "jagged intelligence" phenomenon in AI capabilities discourse — models that achieve superhuman results on hard problems while failing at trivial tasks, and the tendency of critics to dismiss the former by pointing at the latter. Lightweight commentary but touches a real theme (uneven capability profiles) relevant to Nathan's capability-tracking interests.
