This has been in the public domain for a very long time. Although we are getting close to “The Singularity” target date of 2029. It’s good to see people like Musk and Putin talking to the public about it.

Check this article out from April 1st, 2001. It’s very reliant to what we see now.

Real intelligence is pretty much Artificial today.

AI, for all the anthroporphizing we impute on it, is nothing more than data searching & reporting.

The nation that rules magnetism rules outer space.

Or something like that.

“Always have been attracted to Rebecca De Mornay.”

Good to know. I'll ask her to stop calling me, and to call you.

And, whoever masters manned space travel will rule. Whoever it is, our grandkids will be working for them.

I don't think any nation is likely to be "controlling" AI. It will be the other way around.

I was about 35 years into my IT career when it dawned on me: I get up in the morning, go to work, feed my servers, make sure they have enough power and cooling and network access, tune their performance, get rid of clogs, soothe runaway processes, and I'm wondering what it will be like to slave for an AI in the future? Dude, the Singularity happened twenty years ago. And the sign of an intelligence superior to ours is that nobody noticed.

It is undoubtedly true in an economic sense — if you can build a true AI, pair it with agile robotics, you’ll have (effectively) infinite services and manufacturing capacity at a cost of the unit’s depreciation and energy — anything which doesn’t rely upon absolutely rare commodities (not just ones that are expensive now because of production costs) will start out cheap and quickly become essentially free at the scale of individual consumption.

If one company, or country, or an oligopoly of them, controls the technology, anyone outside the sphere of control has instantly lost almost all the value of their productive capacity (be it labor or industry) and most (if not necessarily almost all) of their other assets, too ... not good.

I hear what you are saying. Nevertheless, the Singularity is about physically, biologically and chemically merging with the machines.

Of course it will start with “Trans-humanism”. Now you know why they are selling us Transsexuals now. It has nothing to do with the elite concern with the less than 1/1000 of 1 percent of the public. It’s about cyborgs (like the 70s TV show Six Million Dollar Man) which is introduced through prosthetics that we see with troops coming back from the Middle East, etc..., and finally the Singularity. That’s the elite’s game plan.

This is no different than the rhetoric accompanying the onset of the Industrial Revolution. Life got better

Machines don’t need to breath air. They are ideal for the environment of space. Machines that can self replicate and can produce goods on demand will make the Industrial revolution look like a tiny improvement.

As a cyborg, I am concerned about your tone & innuendo.
