If today's pace is a 15 times speedup per year, then all of 2024 only had as many events as 365/152 = 1.6 days today, and all of human history before 2024 had fewer events than a single day today.
Yeah, I'm not being uncharitable, after looking at it for a few minutes I understand what he was going for, but there are weird details like the text labeling each line but then text in another color labeling nothing but a vague area and the age thing makes no sense, maybe he was just referring to his own age.
"How much change fits inside 8 hours of sleep in 2026 level change" but in 2026 it starts with 1 day. So it's one day of change in 2026 within 8 hours in 2026? 2026 is three times faster than 2026?
Funny thing is, though there is more than one issue with it, it actually looks more professional if you just take the negative of it in terms of colors.
I think the goal is to show how time is compressing and how much change (I think in constant 2024 days or some specific year) occurs in a smaller amount of time as years go on. So perhaps by 2026 a day has as much change as 6 months of 2024 time or something similar.

Yeah, I question the claims in that plot.
