Interesting listening @triciawang at @singularityu to discuss the concept of thick data in the context of getting advantage with #AI - small sample, high depth, or, providing the right data, at the right time, with the right size and the right context

Today on Day 4 we asked: who had changed their mind? Almost every hand. Session by session, it shifts. That the oscillation isn't confusion. It might be the most honest response available right now. When did something last genuinely move you? #InsideSingularity #SUApril2026

Hopeful or worried on the future of technology? We ask this at every Executive Program. The room always splits with confidence.

He'll be the first to tell you that no exponential technology is going to solve the climate crisis on its own. But what his time at Singularity gave him was a renewed sense of how much potential exists when the right people find each other and start pulling in the same direction.

CRISPR took decades to go from bacterial curiosity to gene therapy revolution. The tools coming next won't take that long — because the discovery process has been transformed. MIT's DefensePredictor found over 600 previously unknown immune proteins in E. coli in five minutes. The same week, a Pasteur Institute AI predicted 2.4 million more across 32,000 bacterial genomes. When AI accelerates the front end of biological discovery, everything downstream — drug development, genetic engineering, synthetic biology — accelerates with it. This is what exponential convergence looks like in practice.

Most people forget: Our ability as humans to play around with molecules, to shape new materials, has been the foundation of how we live today.

In order to decarbonize. what kind of technology can we envision that could effectively use gigawatts of electricity to build the molecules we need?

Camus@newstart_2024·
Ray Kurzweil just said something that gave me pause. He believes AIs will soon be so indistinguishable from conscious beings that we’ll simply accept them as conscious — not because we’ll have definitive proof, but because it will become useless not to. He pointed out that people already have AI therapists, and some users are starting to treat them as genuinely conscious. As the technology improves, that acceptance will only grow. Kurzweil thinks the shift won’t take long: once AIs consistently show all the earmarks of consciousness, most people will just go along with it. It’s a quiet but profound prediction about how quickly our definition of “person” (or at least “mind”) might change. What do you think — how long until we treat AIs as conscious beings?
