If 2023 ends up giving us AGI, room-temperature superconductors, Starships and a cure for cancer, I think we will able to call it a good year...

Perhaps these rapid advancements are an indication that we've been visited by, or are currently under the guidance of, a significantly more advanced civilization. /s

Whoever is running the simulation is getting bored.

El Niño usually limits the development of tropical storms, so it could be a quiet hurricane season, but who knows.

We are in a tech war with China, so the BTC opened up a bit.

That's a reference to "Influx" a book where the Bureau of Technology Control grabs all the great stuff and keeps it secret because humans are unable to handle it.
