AI is doing something we've never seen before. Every technology adoption curve in history tells the same story. Pull up Google from day one, or Facebook, or the NASDAQ... same shape every time, all of them climbing that log channel. That's Metcalfe's Law. After enough years you stop expecting anything else. Then AI shows up and for the first time EVER we are witnessing Reed's Law. Metcalfe squared. The exponential of the exponential. Reed's Law has always been purely theoretical. Nobody has ever observed it anywhere... not in nature, not even in something as prolific as a virus. Now it exists. That's why the economic system as we know it will break down. The old frameworks won't just struggle to keep up... they'll be unable to describe what's happening at all. This is the kind of thing David Mattin and I pull apart properly over at The Exponentialist. If you want the full version of where the exponential of the exponential takes us... it's all in here: https://t.co/8ZLZCY6EXx
