The law of accelerating returns suggests that once a doubling pattern in technology starts, it continues indefinitely, leading to exponential growth.

The acceleration of technology, particularly AI, is nonlinear, and as a result, we need to rethink our beliefs about business valuations and growth. Companies can grow rapidly, and we must adapt our thinking to this new reality.

The exponential growth of technology is mind-boggling, and it fundamentally changes how we perceive advancements in computing and AI.

The exponential increase in computational power is driving advancements in AI, leading to significant improvements in technology and capabilities, and the law of accelerating returns indicates that technological progress, including AI, continues to advance exponentially, as evidenced by a chart I found 45 years ago.

Productivity growth is crucial for economic advancement, and technology is the primary driver of this growth, which is essential for improving material conditions in society.

The growth rates of successful startups can range from twenty to two hundred percent month over month, but they typically cluster around twenty to fifty percent month over month.

The pace of AI progress is accelerating rapidly, moving on a scale of quarters rather than years.

The waves of technology are additive, meaning the opportunity presented by AI is larger than previous technological transitions and is arriving much faster.

A good growth rate during Y Combinator is five to ten percent week over week; hitting ten percent weekly is considered exceptional.
