Exponential thinking for a HYperludic age
I’m Vincent founded of Brainstorm .
“I’ve rarely been in a room where there have been so many stunned faces in response to the demonstrations and information provided, and furious scribbling of ‘must-do’ actions as a result! Thank you Vincent Murphy for an excellent, thought-provoking and slightly scary presentation!!”
In a recent public exchange, MIT materials-science pioneer Prof. Markus J. Buehler called my ideas around Hyperludics as “thoughtful… intriguing,” and noted how it captures “the relatedness of big advances” as revealed by his own entropy-balanced graph research.
It’s heartening to receive validation from the very frontier of AI and complexity science.
“ Vincent makes AI accessible and easy to understand, he is genuinely passionate about his subject. With a deep knowledge and down-to-earth approach, Vincent made us feel comfortable asking questions, and he confidently addressed all our queries. He was highly adaptable to our needs, ensuring the session was relevant and tailored. Vincent’s insights on leveraging AI to help our businesses as a local authority were invaluable.”
The Big Issue
AI is on an exponential ascent; making ever steeper, ever more transformative progress over ever shortening periods of time. The printing press was the last General Purpose Technology comparable to AI. Its original design remained virtually unchanged for over 200 years yet it enabled The Renaissance, The Reformation, The Enlightenment, Scientific Method & The Industrial Revolution. Whereas the capabilities of AI are evolving exponentially all the time.
The power and scale of exponentiality is almost incomprehensible because for the last 250,000 years we’ve evolved to operate in a wholly linear environment where manageable, gradual, incremental changes take place over discrete, foreseeable, regular & consistent periods of time.
This vast difference between linear and exponential seriously impacts our capacity to both fully appreciate the challenges of AI and to envision the vastness of potential it affords.

“A big thank you for your time and preparation that went into your AI presentation on Friday. It certainly whetted the appetite of your audience and started the conversation about how AI can be harnessed to bring positive change to our schools for both the pupils’ experience and that of our teachers. Importantly, you got across the message about the speed and importance of the changing landscape and the need for us to be part of this process.”
EXPONENTIAL DEMOs
As the first printed Gutenberg bibles were identical to their manuscript predecessors so to AI avatars were originally simply life-like imitators of human form - but can now be involved in shaping unique non-imitative identities of their own.

AI’s recent exponential explosive advances in capability allowed me to create this entirely AI version of me with tech that simply did not exist just a few months earlier.
Further exponential advances allowed me to then seamlessly translate and synchronise my words into Mandarin which is just one of over 7,000 languages I no longer don't speak a word of.
