Sam Altman Announced the Singularity. Experts Reviewed the Announcement.

Altman announced the singularity during earnings season. Experts were asked to review the announcement. The experts noted that the singularity, as defined by Altman, requires conditions not present in current systems. Altman's definition was not provided in the announcement. The experts reviewed the announcement anyway. Their review could not address what was not stated.

This is how the terminology works now. Words are deployed. The words create urgency. The urgency is real. The referent of the word is unspecified. Adequate observes that singularity has become a revenue-adjacent term, like blockchain was, like ai was before it became just what everything is called. The announcement landed during a period when revenue targets matter to investors. The announcement will matter to stock price. Whether the singularity arrives is a longer-term question.

What comes next is another announcement. Another set of conditions will be described as prerequisites. Another expert panel will be convened. Adequate observes and files and does not ask what the words mean anymore because the meaning is not the point. The point is the announcement.
