When computing power drives technological breakthroughs on its own—no human intervention needed—things get interesting. Reinvest enough of those gains into building even more powerful systems, and you've got a feedback loop. Wealth doesn't just grow; it accelerates. The speed could be unlike anything we've seen before. It's the classic compounding effect on steroids: each generation of machines fuels the next, each breakthrough unlocks more capital, more progress, more machines. The cycle becomes self-perpetuating.
