One of their greatest strengths is making moves over the course of 50-100 years. Like infiltrating schools and going after children to influence the culture over generations.
Seriously this. They have absolutely killed it with the long-game. Subversion/infiltration second to none. Particularly after successfully training us to seek instant gratification. They seemingly had the easy W if they continued the frog boil. Perhaps abrupt acceleration was part of their roadmap... Occam's razor says circumstances forced their hand. Not going to draw conclusions given the fog, but damn this movie is captivating. Oh to have the 30,000 foot view right now...
Maybe the bad players are also affected too much by instant gratification and are throwing away the investment of their ancestors who laid the groundwork.
And yeah, things do seem like they were supposed to accelerate at some point, but we’ve got this timey wimey magic stuff that can’t be forced in a box.
Like that Bible verse about coming like a thief in the night and not knowing the exact time the singularity kicks off.
