Title: Accelerating Returns and the Qualitative Engine for Science
Abstract:
arXiv:2606.26359v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Ray Kurzweil described a thesis of accelerating returns, which is the most influential narratives in discussions of technological progress. Its central claim is that advances in multiple technological fields, especially compute, artificial intelligence, brain science, and biotechnology, interact in such a way that progress becomes self-amplifying and approximately exponential. This paper gives a simple mathematical interpretation of that claim and
