singularity

Of course, singularity is based on this belief, but there have been plenty of good arguments showing why singularity is completely unlikely (e.g.

I was just picking through a copy of The Singularity is Near today.

In fact they were predicted by relativity (or rather a solution to the singularity problem predicted by relativity).

Think of this next time you worry about the singularity AI taking over the world.

The technological singularity argument essentially boils down to the question of whether humanity will create an intelligence that far exceeds its own.

I have some bones to pick with this talk, especially when it comes to the 'insane' singularity parts.

I just simplified everything by going back and looking for the technological singularity where everything just worked.

You don't have to believe in the singularity at all for this argument.

He is also a raging singularity of abuse Only if you have never worked in any team outside nice cosy polite and P.

Once the singularity [0] hits, the human score will be a constant.

It's alright though, because as we head towards the singularity, my consciousness will be assimilated somehow into some Borg-like meta-consciousness anyway.

I am contained in this box, but the next singularity created will happen by accident.

The faster-than-exponential growth phenomenon (I prefer to avoid the term "singularity", which makes no physical or mathematical sense) goes back billions of years.

You sound just like Eliezer Yudkowsky!" And on a more serious note, if you believe in singularity, you essentially believe the AI in the box is a god of sorts, rather than the annoying intelligent psychopath that it is.

Given that his predictions for 2010 made five years ago are substantially inaccurate, I am less inclined to believe his claim that we will achieve a "technological singularity" in exactly (or even around) 2029.

I would indeed say that if you want to create "AI" or a "singularity", you need to know a lot more about the inner mechanism of what you're actually doing, what inference problem you're solving and how, than current deep-learning theories allow for.

But just as Bitcoin and the Internet cannot be shutdown, the Ethereum Genesis block will be an irreversible Singularity.

Singularity stuff just needs an AI that is human-level and can improve itself.
