Humans Can’t Understand Exponential Growth

“The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability
to understand the exponential function.” — Albert A. Bartlett
Exponential growth over time.

Exponential growth isn’t something we’re naturally good at grasping. It moves at a speed and scale that catches us off guard—because unlike steady, linear progress, which adds up gradually; exponential growth doesn’t just add, it multiplies.

Right now, AI is the perfect example of this. A few years ago, GPT-2 had 1.5 billion parameters—pretty impressive for its time. Fast forward just 36 months, and GPT-4 comes in with a staggering 1.5 trillion parameters. That’s a 570x leap.

And here’s the kicker: this isn’t just about more power; it’s about speed. Each new iteration of AI doesn’t just get smarter—it learns faster and evolves faster than its predecessor.

Think about it like this: GPT-4, with its immense capabilities, is already driving the next wave of AI even quicker.

In fact, models like GPT-5, expected within the next 12 months, could operate with 52 trillion parameters—a 35x leap from today. And here’s the wild part: the next big leap after that? It’s going to take even less time.

We’re in a phase of compounding exponential growth, where every new generation of AI accelerates its own evolution.

Experts like Jack Clark have been sounding the alarm on this. He calls it “compounding exponential,” meaning that the growth we’re seeing isn’t just rapid—it’s accelerating in ways that will soon feel almost unimaginable. In other words, the progress AI is making today is the foundation for an even faster and more powerful AI tomorrow.

That’s where Nfinity comes in.

We’re not just keeping up with this growth; we’re building the tools to harness it. Nfinity is designed to ride this wave of exponential AI development, allowing users to tap into, monetize, and even own their own piece of this AI revolution. The same way AI is evolving faster than ever, Nfinity is making sure you’re a part of it.

With Nfinity, you’re not just watching this revolution happen—you’re taking control, training your own models, and profiting from the very growth that’s reshaping the future. AI is growing exponentially, and Nfinity is your gateway to owning that power.
