About: Kevin Kelly's 2007 TED Talk i.e. http://trigg.gr/tag/MagazineWiredKevinKelly https://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=872 Point: "co-dependency" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYCf4ONh5M&t=959s Point: "embodiment": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDYCf4ONh5M&t=368s Related: José Ignacio Latorre https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=mJj30I8AAAAJ outlines, the nature of such a singularity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity As he explains: "the essential argument associated with the Singularity is based on an overwhelming logic: If we build artificial intelligences that are increasingly more powerful and autonomous, a point will come when an algorithm is capable of self-improvement. Having improved, the new algorithm will be even more powerful and, in consequence, capable of improving itself once more. It is a chain that keeps feeding itself. Each artificial intelligence will design the next which will be even better than it is itself. This iterative process will continue advancing unstoppably towards an intelligence of brutal proportions. We will have reached the Singularity" (Latorre, J. I., 2019). Criticism: "The Singularity, as [Ray Kurzweil] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Kurzweil explains it, is a point in the near future when rapidly escalating technological advances will allow the most evolved humans (i.e., Mr. Kurzweil and his early-adopting followers) to incorporate technology into their bodies. Doing so will allow them to live hundreds of years and perhaps forever. Mr. Kurzweil wrote a book on the subject in 2005 and has been proselytizing ever since. The quick sell: Join me in outsmarting death. This vision has obvious appeal to the Silicon Valley set, which holds sacred the belief that technology can solve most any problem; Google’s co-founder Larry Page, and a long list of other tech celebrities, helped establish Singularity University, where rich or deep-thinking techies try to get an edge on the future.
