AI and the New Class War: How Compute Concentration Is Quietly Rewriting the Social Contract
“Singularity Crossing” — that’s probably the most accurate way to describe where AI development stands right now. AGI may not be here yet. But after humanity invented Claude Code, Opus 4.5, and OpenClaw, the singularity effectively arrived. The word “singularity” comes from mathematics and physics. In math, a singularity is the point where a function blows up — like 1/x at x=0, where the value shoots toward infinity and the rules that governed everything before suddenly stop working. The center of a black hole is also a singularity, where all known laws of physics break down. Once the singularity hits, every rule we knew becomes void. All of humanity’s accumulated experience, institutions, and instincts — none of it can tell us what comes next. It’s like standing outside a black hole’s event horizon: no information escapes from inside. Every rule fails. Every prediction fails. No science fiction writer ever imagined a world where intelligence is no longer scarce. Just as humans can’t picture what the inside of a black hole looks like. What happens next? No one knows. It can’t be predicted. ...
