"This is a time capsule documenting 2025's descent into the singularity, referring to the theoretical point where current models of human understanding break down leading to radical transformation.

What is real? How do you define 'real'? Because for anyone paying even a slight modicum of attention, 2025 didn’t come anywhere close. More like 2025 got fired and replaced by AI.

In a world where we can't seem to remember what we had for breakfast two days ago anywhere, where we're drowning in a never ending sea of information that has now been flooded with a new type of ersatz on top of what was already so unbelievable and so unreal, I thought perhaps we could benefit from a documentarian's eye on just what happened last year. Broke it all down by month so you can see the patterns in the progression, but the most important part comes after the year ends.

I probably don't have to tell you we just lived through a hell of a year. Truly, all the veils are down now. As Morpheus famously asked Neo in one of my favorite films of all time, ever: 'What is real? How do you define 'real'?'

Just a couple days ago, Elon Musk said 'We have entered the Singularity'. I believe the film I just made illustrates that he is 100% correct. The singularity is a theoretical point where current models of human understanding break down leading to radical transformation... but, in alchemical terms, no renewal can happen without going through that stage (as ugly and painful as it is)

I love you guys. Hold on to yourselves and each other. For both good and bad, everything is about to get infinitely so much weirder from here". -(Melissa).
