"In a nutshell, the Data Singularity is this: humans are being spliced out of the data-driven processes around us, and frequently we aren’t even at the terminal node of action. International cargo shipments, high-frequency stock trades, and genetic diagnoses are all made without us."
I rather think automating mundane tasks is a good thing, because it frees us up to focus on innovative and creative opportunities. Jack Bauer operates at the speed of thought, because his tools take care of details irrelevant to him. IMO the data singularity exists, but it will shepard in the age of the exceptional individual. Startups (with HLLs) foreshadow this outcome.
