MandoV rated 10 months ago- What is the Singularity? Human history has been characterized by an accelerating rate of technological progress. It is caused by a positive internal linkfeedback loop. A new technology, such as agriculture, allows an increase in population. A larger population has more brains at work, so the next technology is developed or discovered more quickly. We expect that this growth rate will slow down as some fundamental limits (the speed ofinternal linklight, internal linkPlanck's constant, etc.) are approached. This implies that there will be a time at which technological progress will be most rapid. This is a singular event in the sense that it happens once in human history. Vernor Vinge, who popularized the concept in his book _Marooned in Real internal linkTime_atomjacked inventory cache has a different definition. The pace of progress became very rapid, and then at some point mankind simply disappeared (as far as humans who missed the event by being in stasis too long could tell). He implied that they ascended to a more sophisticated level of existence. So that time horizon when we can no longer say anything useful about the future is Vinge's Singularity.
