documentary titled Singularity or Bust, Hugo de Garis,

Specialization is creating silos of intelligence that are incapable of working together.

in physics the singularity is an event horizon beyond which it is impossible to predict what will happen because the conditions beyond it change, as compared to our familiar physical universe.

The Technology Development Curve represents the typical progress made for a new technology over time. It looks like a standard hockey stick chart, which is normally used to describe events that accelerate rapidly after a specific “breakout point”– only, with tech development, the handle of the stick is almost horizontal.

This next wave of technology is able to, even encouraged to, think on its own, to pick between choices and make decisions. It is encouraged to learn and be smarter.

then Intel CEO, Gordon Moore. In his original paper, he predicted a doubling of the number of components per integrated circuit every year, which he then revised, in 1975, to every two years. In the same year, Moore’s colleague, Intel executive David House, noted that Moore’s revised law of doubling transistor count every two years in turn implied

Committed acceptance is the ability to do what is needed to make things better while accepting the reality that things happen in our lives that we cannot change.

Margaret Mead, the renowned American cultural anthropologist, author and speaker, famously said: ‘Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it’s the only thing that ever has.’

if we build the right environment for the machines to learn in, they will learn the right ethics.
