ジャック・クラーク（世界最先端のAI企業、アンソロピック共同創設者）「私たちは今、シンギュラリティに突入した。これから、世界は大混乱のカオスになり、人類史上最大の富と史上最大の危険が同時に起こる」
「『シンギュラリティ（技術的特異点）は未来の話』だと思っていた人類に、世界最強AI『Claude』の生みの親が放った歴史的宣告」 2026年10月17日、IMF（国際通貨基金）年次総会・ペル・ヤコブソン記念講演（演題：Inside the Event Horizon）で語られた、世界激変の真実がコレ👇
・「特異点（シンギュラリティ）は、すでにここにある」
遠い未来のSFではない。クラークは「The singularity is here（特異点はすでにここに到達している）」と断言。この影響は一部のIT業界にとどまらず、人間の日常生活のあらゆる側面に津波のように波及する。
・本質は「AIだけでなく科学全体の進歩ペースの狂気の加速」
AIが便利になるだけの話ではない。AIによって物理、生物、医療、エネルギーなど「あらゆる科学の進歩スピードそのもの」が爆速化する。人類が何世代もかけて解けなかった科学の壁が、信じられないペースで次々と打ち破られる。
・人類を襲う「強烈な混乱と方向感覚の喪失（ディスオリエンテーション）」
世界の常識やルールが目まぐるしく書き換わり続けるため、社会全体が激しいカオスに突入する。「これまでの常識」にすがっている人間は、何が起きているのか理解すら追いつかない強烈な目眩（めまい）を覚えることになる。
・「絶大なる富」と「絶大なる危険」が同時に押し寄せる この知能爆発は、地球上の貧困や病気を吹き飛ばすほどの凄まじい富と豊かさをもたらす一方で、一歩扱いを間違えれば社会を破壊しかねない破滅的な危険（大惨事や制御不能のリスク）を同時にもたらす。
要するに、「『シンギュラリティはいつ来るのか？』と呑気に予想するフェーズは終わり、私たちはすでに特異点の渦中に突入しており、今後数年間で科学全体の進化スピードが爆発することで、人類史上最大の富と史上最大の危険が同時に雪崩れ込んでくる」ということです。

From the @FT: "Cracks are appearing in America’s debt-laden $10tn AI infrastructure boom as project delays, public backlash and shaky investor confidence bring a reckoning for the data centre build-out underpinning the US economy."
IMO, what makes all these issues even more interesting is that no matter how they evolve, there are significant economic, financial, social, and geopolitical implications

This is the most insane type of storm our planet is capable of creating.
Category 5 Super Typhoon Champi, with extreme sustained winds likely roaring at 175+ MPH (280 kph), now has one of the clearest and crispest pinhole eyes I can ever recall seeing.

NHC has hoisted an area to watch off the east coast stating its a non-tropical low and regardless the impacts will be the same even with any subtropical characteristics that may present themselves. Another beating for some east coast beaches over several high tide cycles.

Bill Gates: AI will usher in one of the most turbulent eras in history.
“AI is both the most powerful tool for advancing equity and the greatest threat to equity humans have ever invented.”
“Many jobs will disappear. White-collar jobs first, with blue-collar ones to follow.”
“I worry that we aren’t preparing.”
“There’s no plan to ease the entry into the AI era, and not even a plan to have a plan.”
“The world has a chance to act now before unemployment rises sharply.”

TROPICAL UPDATE: New area highlighted in the Atlantic I've been watching for a few days now with a chance of development. Next name is #Josephine (much easier to pronounce). Here's the latest and what to know:
1) The set-up is a strengthening area of low pressure east of the Carolinas along a stalled front over the next several days. Same front that is bringing cooler weather to most of the country right now.
2) If the system can lose its attached fronts, it has the potential to become a hybrid "subtropical" storm...meaning it would be powered from both the ocean and the atmosphere.
3) The NHC is starting with a conservative 20% chance of development. Google AI has odds closer to 60% for a tropical/subtropical system, the traditional European Model is closer to 10-20% right now.
4) This low will be in no hurry, moving slowly and erratically over the next week. Wouldn't be surprised if it even does a loop too.
5) While most models keep this away from the coast, not all do. Google AI reinforces that with current landfall odds at 20-30% or a 70-80% chance it stays offshore.
6) Even if it does stay off the coast, it can still cause high winds, coastal flooding, and dangerous surf from the Carolinas all the way up to New England.
7) Also, wanted to mention no development is expected over the next week in the Gulf. A Facebook page with over 874,000 followers put out a false and irresponsible post saying another hurricane was going to form there in the next week. Pure hype, nothing more.
I'll continue to keep you updated with no hype, just the facts. Thanks everyone!

Meanwhile, in France. A pink cat, fire hoses, garbage, a flag, and road signs reading "Republic" and "Bastille." A beautiful shot.
