This isn't what is usually meant by "technological singularity". It is an inflection point where technology growth becomes incontrollable and unpredictable, usually theorized to be cause by a self improving agent (/AI) that becomes smarter with each of its iterations. This is still standard technological progress, human control, even if very fast
- visarga 4y agoIt's not really "human controlled". It's an evolutionary process, researchers are scanning the space of possibilities, each with a limited view, but in aggregate it has an emergent positive trend.
