Acceleration
The case for moving forward.
The cost of delay, the infrastructure of abundance, and why invention and adoption belong together.
THE QUESTION BEFORE US
We believe artificial intelligence should advance as rapidly as technology and resources permit. Delay is not an empty interval: people continue living within the limits of existing knowledge and institutions. These essays develop the case for urgency and the practical work it requires, from building capacity to making new intelligence useful in everyday life. Our ambition is a civilization with more ability to understand, create, and continuously improve.
- What do we postpone when we postpone intelligence?
- What must be built for intelligence to become abundant?
- When does a technical achievement become a civilizational one?
