How it started:

> We are the last.
> The last generation to be unaugmented.
> The last generation to be intellectually alone.
> The last generation to be limited by our bodies.

> We are the first.
> The first generation to be augmented.
> The first generation to be intellectually together.
> The first generation to be limited only by our imaginations. 

How its going:

 > The current discourse around AI and computation seems
 > to be shifting from the singularity (a hypothetical
 > moment when AI surpasses human intelligence in all
 > areas) to breaking computational and conceptual
 > walls—addressing the limits and bottlenecks that
 > arise in computational and cognitive systems.
 >
 > Herbert Simon’s work on bounded rationality
 > acknowledges that human decision-making is constrained
 > by cognitive limits. In AI, we're now grappling with
 > these conceptual walls—AI has its own limits based
 > on algorithms, models, and theoretical understanding
 > of computation.
 >
 > Even with novel algorithms, some fundamental barriers
 > remain due to the intrinsic hardness of certain problems.
 > This could be because of lower bounds on algorithmic
 > complexity or because the problem requires exponential

 > the algorithm.
