I love this shit. People simply DO NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND the implications of the technological singularity. Shit is going to go DOWN this century. Either that, or it already has and we are just too fucking inferior to know.

Do tell! What are the implications of technological singularity? I've always been curious what the fuss was all about.

The most profound implication is that for the first time since we were pitter-patterning around scourraging for food off the jungle floor on all fours, something will come into existence with relatively monumental intelligence. Nobody knows what will happen, nobody knows if it has already happened. The hypotheticals are equally infinite in quanitty. One such hypothetical is that everything is going to go in our favour and uploaded consciousness can be an overnight (literally overnight) reality. The hypothetical in which things do not go in our favour are equally, terrifyingly profound.
