Whats a singularitarian?

[nawitus]

@somthing798 Just google for it.

*thinking*...

I wonder if the Singularity would get here faster if we... say... took all the funding we currently put into war and armament (easily trillions per year) and instead put it into computer research and development. lol

@EdouardDubois The problem in that is AI safety. Google for "Friendly AI".

Immortality isn't good. Nor is it bad. It's impossible. There is no such thing as eternity.

[nawitus]

Immortality in this context doesn't mean living forever, it's living as long as you want or atleast for billions of years.

This is the smartest humourous thing ive seen in a while. Thx Karl.

Sad but true, how far we've come and how so close we are to this gigantic step towards the unknown.

[EilonWolfe]

This fills me with nerdy glee.

[buybuydandavis]

That was hilarious! Nothing like humor to a jingle.

[GodofSpanaway]

I'm not a big fan of music, but this was good.

[PaintSlinger99]

This is brilliant. I hope everyone who watches understand it completely! It's is quite profound

[spiritofsyth]

Sex isn't just about reproduction, just look at all the masturbation and homosexuality rampant in the world today! lol

All pleasure with none of the usual biological function.

@JesusHChrist2000 How puritan an outlook, maybe we should just admits it's FUN and if we become "e"mortal, we could then just "do it" for entertainment, or a hobby (like civil war reenactments LOL). Or to pass the time, as we'll have a lot to spare ;-)
