I highly recommend reading through both parts of this blog. It’s a really interesting read.

“The singularity is near” is from 2005 IIRC, so here we are, soon 25 years in the “future”. Seems like he maybe was right?!
That “cusp” thing about exponential curves is BS though, there is no “cusp” it just looks like that depending on how you grade the x and y axles in the diagram. It’s probably better to use some other measure today (we’re heading for AGI quickly IMO) maybe the raw computational power (the brain has quite many redundancies too).
Interesting times ahead :-D !
