David Mattin, Technology Lead at Global Macro Investor and founder of New World Same Humans, argues that civilization is transitioning into the exponential age, where AI's super-exponential growth outpaces societal structures and pushes toward an economic singularity. Traditional metrics like GDP become incoherent in an economy of radical abundance, where the focus shifts to efficiently converting energy into intelligence. AI will disrupt not only white-collar professions but also agriculture and manufacturing. Tools like Claude offer near-infinite intelligence at nominal cost, yet technology may not reduce workloads—it often raises output expectations. This article unpacks the civilization shift, the collapse of scarcity-based economics, and the challenges ahead.
