Introduction
Welcome back to Laboratory, the weekly dispatch where we trade hype for hard-edged analysis on the breakthroughs bending tomorrow’s growth curves. Today our lens swivels to Sam Altman’s manifesto, “The Gentle Singularity,” a roadmap that claims we’ve already slipped past the AI event horizon.
In this briefing, you’ll discover:
Timelines in Warp Speed – Why Altman pegs 2025-2027 for agents, discovery engines, and affordable humanoids.
Abundance Economics – How cheap, on-demand intelligence + energy could ignite a productivity super-cycle.
Alignment & Access – The twin guardrails that must keep super-intelligence safe and broadly shared.
Strap in as we decode these four vectors—showing founders, policymakers, and Monaco’s capital allocators how to navigate (and monetize) the gentlest singularity ever foretold.
