AI 2027
Concrete AI forecasting scenario about superhuman AI, institutional response, and divergent slowdown/race endings.

Why It Belongs
This belongs in the selected shelf because it articulates the forthcoming J-curve in AI better than most writing in the field. People are not naturally good with exponentials; we tend to round the future back into a familiar straight line, then underestimate the impact a compounding system can have once it starts bending upward.
The useful thing about AI 2027 is not that every scene needs to come true. It is that the piece forces the acceleration to feel operational: institutions lag, automation compounds, and the world has to react to a slope it is culturally bad at perceiving.
