VMarshall Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 Hello, iam new here and i am not a scientist nor a physicists. I learn physics and biology from movies and books. But computer it's my natural talent Alright, let's say the Singularity is happen 10-20 years from now what will happen "if" human really transcend 1. By Religion? By philosophy? Or by our scientific understanding of the universe? 2. What will happen to other lifeforms like animals and plants? Sounds they all will extinct? I do not believe in concepts / theories but if we look the past , men do a breakthrough time to time especially Technology Ikr, Sorry for my bad english
Delta1212 Posted September 26, 2016 Posted September 26, 2016 I know what you're talking about generally, but what do you personally mean by "transcend"? There are a lot of different things that could mean that all impact the answers to that question. If the Singularity has any real meaning, we're already on the other side of it. The Singularity is predicated on greater than human intelligence being able to rapidly speed up progress and create every most advanced intelligences that rapidly outpace what humans could have done on their own in any reasonable timeframe or even at all. The moment the first (modern) computer was switched on is a decent approximation of the moment the Singularity took place. At that time, human + computer became more intellectually powerful than any human was alone, even if the computer alone was far from being smarter than a human. The explosive pace of technological development that has occurred since machine computing began to spread should be indicative of this. We're already on the post-Singularity exponential curve made possible by the superhuman intelligences that are the merging of humans, advancing hardware and increasingly sophisticated software.
