Re: The Singularity

I'm assuming you're speaking about a technological singularity resulting from seed AI. Yes it's quite an interesting idea.

Re: The Singularity

You assumed right.

I would think a lot of people on here, as both the WCG and the singularity have something to do with technological progress.

Re: The Singularity

I'm not sure a state of singularity is possible. At least, my flux capacitor causes me to be thrown through time in an instant, and on top then has me having these constant Deja Vu's ;o)

Re: The Singularity

Aren't we all, whatever we call HIM, HER or IT?
I mean G*d, Allah, Mother Nature, evolution, creation, sol invictus, The Singularity, the big bang or "the Gods." Are they not all the same by any name? Moore's law is just an example of a universal truth that always was and always will be as well as being every place in every instant of time, whether measured linearly , exponentially and/or by all possible dimensions.
