The Technological Singularity

A video explaining the Technological Singularity, for my Global Change final project. Put together by me, all artwork by me, (Solange/ Robyn Graves), copyrighted to me, I've uploaded almost all artwork to robyn-graves.blogspot.com if you want to get a better look.

All the amazing music is by Doctor Steel doctorsteel.com toysoldiersunite.com Tracks used- "Singularity," "Doctor Steel"

For more about the Singularity, buy Ray Kurzweil's book "The Singularity is Near" or visit his website kurzweilai.net


NOTE: Ray Kurzweil says that the Loebner prize's Turing test is too easy. He doesn't think it'll get passed to his standards until 2029. Honestly, after reading the conversation between the machine that got 25% and the human who was fooled, I agree. That program is nowhere near what I'd consider to be artificial intelligence either.

I've made a great many comments on this video. I love this song, and the production its self is fantastic. Dr. Steel is an excellent musician. However, after all this time I have a bone to pick with this video - Kurzweil, the man you're sighting in this video, says that the Turing Test is too easy. He says that we probably wont have a strong general AI program until 2029 or so.

Yes I'm aware; I updated that in the info section to the right some time ago. Click "more info." :)

The entire universe as a computer..?

Thats great, BUT.. will it run Crysis??

[imnotgivingmynametou]

I thought this video stated that man would inevitably transgress into machines, so why all of that doom saying at the end? The moral implications would still be great though...

@Lucianferre Thought the same thing. Whats to keep beings from another universe from coming here, i doubt we would notice them if they didn't want us to see them. I suppose we just have to wait for the data to come in about the origins of the universe.

@Rksager will you shut up?

[Lucianferre]

this does makes you wonder... if the human race does give birth to a higher intelligence that becomes "god like" and expands out into the universe..., and new universes are possibly being born all the time.... how many of these infinitely superior beings are there out there? and are they bound to the universe they started in or do they spread into all? are they here already? have they always been here?

In this video there are many imprecisions, to make it seem more fiction like i presume.

2030s singularity takes place, infinite technological progress, imaginary vr is commonplace, people will get to live any fantasy no matter how impossible, ultimate happiness

2200 universe becomes intelligent

2999 everything thats imaginable even unimaginable and everything beyond will be controlled and becomed of by posthuman, A.I. entities

3000 perfectly everything, omniverses, omni creations, gods, entities, etc.. everything thinkable will be controlled by perfect beings. fact

[slavj]

@Rksager an unimaginable amount of Crysis's.... lol
