Do you think we will hit a/the singularity in our lifetimes? I do. I hope so. Would spice things up a bit.

Time Magazine on the Singularity
An interesting article I wanted to share with you on the Singularity, which will apparently happen by the year 2045.

I just read that article - its hilarious! I won't panic about the end of the world just yet.
I don't know about a point of singularity but I think there is a moent in a lot of peoples like (not all) where one decision can have a massive impact on the rest of their lives. In a very non
sci-fi way though!
I think the assumption that a fast operating system or computer chip is able to create conciousness is presumptuous at best. If computers gain awareness of self I don't think that's a good thing
I think it's totally possible, scary, but possible.
