Re: Singularity There are several incompatible definitions of "Singularity" floating around, as pointed out by Eliezer Yudkowsky here: http://www.singinst.org/blog/2007/09/30/three-major-singularity-schools/ http://www.singinst.org/blog/2007/09/30/three-major-singular... I personally subscribe to the "Intelligence Explosion" idea, because of two very simple beliefs: - AI is feasible. - AI will have a profound impact on our lives. I try to avoid using the word "Singularity" and just describe that I think AI is a very important problem because the word "Singularity" is too soiled. Everyone pretty much associates "Singularity" with Ray Kurzweil's vague and strange intersecting-expoential-curves idea which makes no sense (which Eliezer calls "Accelerating Change" in the blog post).
