Was thinking about how AI is progressing so much faster that I thought it would over the last decade, and especially the last 3 years. And how it's so hard to see the future that approaches, as the amount of entropy the advent of AGI inserts into any predictive attempt is staggering. Our future could be so utopic, or so dystopic:


Some new world is in embryo
lusty and dripping with potential
fickle and capricious in the path of its realization

Those who act quickly
impregnate the laboring future
with their stamp, good or ill

The magnification of human will
never before so potent,
And so,
never before so necessary,
that good people act
to usher in an age of light,
lest those who would rape and pillage
lead an unmolested vanguard,
or the next accidents of history
lead us into darkness
