Point taken, but it's hard to take a talk seriously when it has a graph showing AI becoming 80% of GDP! What does the "P" even stand for then?

It’s called exponential growth and humans are well known to be almost comically bad at identifying and interpreting it.

  • When people make forward looking statements using the term “exponential growth”, you can always replace that with “S-curve”.

    Remember when we had two weeks of data, and governments acted like Covid was projected to kill everyone by next Tuesday?
