- The AI singularity is often misunderstood as a monolithic entity, but evolution indicates intelligence is plural, social, and relational.
- Agentic AI, exemplified by models like DeepSeek-R1, shows reasoning improves through internal 'societies of thought' involving debate and verification rather than longer thinking times.
- We are moving towards human-AI centaurs, hybrid actors where collective agency surpasses individual control.
- Scaling intelligence requires shifting from dyadic alignment (e.g., RLHF) to institutional alignment using digital protocols inspired by organizations and markets.
- The next intelligence explosion will resemble a complex, combinatorial society or city, emphasizing no mind operates in isolation.
