An Imminent Hard Singularity (Maybe)

It seems at least possible that a hard Singularity may happen pretty soon — like within the next decade. By “hard” Singularity, I mean some pretty astonishing things might happen — practical anti-ageing technology, Artificial Superintelligence, you name it.

It’s enough to at least give me something to hope for in the future. Something to frame my life around.

But it could be I’m really overthinking things. Yet I do think that AI androids are fast approaching. That is a sure bet. AI and robotics will fuse together very soon — probably no later than 2030 — and that will soon become a trillion dollar industry.

Then, of course, there are going to be all these problems associated with AI androids that will make our current culture wars look puny in comparison. But all of this is something to keep an eye on, at least.
