To get our minds off the devastation the NDP is going to bring down on our heads ;) , lets talk about something else for a while.
The whole concept of a singularity moment is fascinating, and from what I can tell, inevitable.
What I didn't realize is how close we actually are. The whole concept behind Singularity is it just happens. Somebody on the forum a while ago was talking about how their net worth was a million dollars, and there was no big party, no "you made it!" sign. It just was. And in my opinion, that is exactly how something like the Singularity will go down.
It isn't something I've thought much about recently, but this video is completely true. I'm always amazed in this day and age that we dont have robots manning all the cash registers, stocking shelves, and flipping burgers. As the TedTalk highlights, this won't be a change of who does what like prior revolutions. There literally won't be anything left to do. Further to that observation, if a machine learns on its own, eventually, I reckon it can learn human traits. If the "turing test" is to be believed, currently we are quite close to computers being indistinguishable from humans.
And at that point, it brings us to the singularity. The point at which machines are smarter than humans. Creation of intelligence that is not only better than ours, but that may develop to a level of consciousness beyond our reasoning, no different than ours to an ants.
Orrrrrrr, maybe I've just been hanging out with the one dope-smokin hippy of an MLA everyone is criticizing lately :p
