I consider myself a transhumanist but I think "singularity" is ill-defined. Do you believe strong AI or mind-augmentation def. won't happen?
-
I have no opinion if it might or might not happen because I don't think it's possible to form a coherent one with current info
-
certainly strong AI would depend on some unforeseen and presently unknown technical breakthrough
-
I'm very confident iterating on or throwing more boxes at present techniques will not get us there
-
entirely possible someone figures out something tomorrow that serves as a basis for such a thing, but impossible to predict
-
as far as I'm concerned it's akin to alchemists speculating on how transmutation of base metals will change the economy
