The episode's thesis would be this: the singularity, if it exists, won't be a cinematic moment. It will be a gradual normalization of capabilities that we once attributed only to expert humans.

The episode’s thesis would be this: the singularity, if it exists, won’t be a cinematic moment. It will be a gradual normalization of capabilities that we once attributed only to expert humans. And when something becomes normalized, we stop seeing it as extraordinary.
