Technological Singularity in his science
fiction novel Marooned in..."</title><description>“Vernor Vinge introduced the term
Technological Singularity in his science
fiction novel Marooned in Realtime (1986)
and later developed the concept in his
essay the Coming Technological Singularity
(1993). His definition of Singularity is widely
known as the event horizon thesis and in
essence says that trans or post-human
minds will imply a weirder future than we
can imagine:
“Within thirty years, we will have the
technological means to create superhuman
intelligence. Shortly after, the human era
will be ended. […] I think it’s fair to call this
event a singularity. It is a point where our
models must be discarded and a new
reality rules. As we move closer and closer
to this point, it will loom vaster and vaster
over human affairs till the notion becomes
a commonplace. Yet when it finally
happens it may still be a great surprise and
a greater unknown.”
I.J. Good , who greatly influenced Vinge
himself, never used the term Singularity
itself. However, what Vinge called
Singularity Good called intelligence
explosion and by that he meant a positive
feedback cycle within which minds will
make technology to improve on minds
which once started will rapidly surge
upwards and create super-intelligence. This
definition of Singularity is also known as
the intelligence explosion hypothesis.
Ray Kurzweil is associated with the third
and most popular interpretation of the
Technological Singularity, often referred to
as the accelerating change thesis. In his
book The Singularity Is Near: When
Humans Transcend Biology Kurzweil
defined the Technological Singularity as:
“… a future period during which the pace
of technological change will be so rapid, its
impact so deep, that human life will be
irreversibly transformed. Although neither
utopian nor dystopian, this epoch will
transform the concepts that we rely on to
give meaning to our lifes, from our
business models to the cycle of human life,
including death itself.”
Kevin Kelly, founder of Wired Magazine
Singularity is the point at which “all the
change in the last million years will be
superseded by the change in the next five
minutes.””</description><link>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/21141009788</link><guid>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/21141009788</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Apr 2012 13:31:20 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>Ray Kurzweil</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2iq9rMIBf1qlcmngo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ray Kurzweil&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/21140823956</link><guid>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/21140823956</guid><pubDate>Sun, 15 Apr 2012 13:22:39 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>http://www.dharbin.com/strip/08-1215_warren-ellis.html</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2c2hltLR11qlcmngo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dharbin.com/strip/08-1215_warren-ellis.html"&gt;http://www.dharbin.com/strip/08-1215_warren-ellis.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/20920994153</link><guid>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/20920994153</guid><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2012 23:03:21 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>From Beneath</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m27ox4jnDw1qlcmngo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;From Beneath&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/20774700514</link><guid>http://romaincombes.tumblr.com/post/20774700514</guid><pubDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2012 14:19:52 +0200</pubDate></item><item><title>Manborg.
