Rapid advancements in AI have collapsed the distance between the future and the present. As William Gibson famously observed, "The future is here, it's just not evenly distributed." This unevenness is driven by what can be seen as the construction of a metaphorical time machine. Projects like Stargate, the development of sophisticated reasoning models, and the EU's $200 billion investment are central to this transformation. These are not merely technological advancements; they are catalysts for a profound societal shift.

This accelerated progress results in a fractured present. Those deeply involved in this innovation experience a future that has already arrived, inhabiting a world that remains unimaginable to others.
