The Singularity Got a Date

Why 2026 Misses the Real Shift

The singularity finally got a date.

Elon Musk says 2026. Not someday. Not decades out. Soon enough to plan for. Soon enough to panic over. Soon enough that dismissing it feels careless instead of skeptical.

That should be terrifying.
Or obvious.

Because depending on how you define the singularity, we are either nowhere near it, or already past the point where humans matter most in the loop.

The real question is not whether machines will wake up.
It is whether society already moved faster than human judgment can follow.

If that line has been crossed, arguing about the year misses the point.
