The Andres Agostini Herald! (Ich Bin Singularitarian!) - Arlington, Virginia, USA

SEEING THE TREND. MAKE YOUR CONCLUSIONS. BY ANDRES AGOSTINI.
“.....supercomputers [as of 1999] match at least the hardware capacity of the human brain….the computational capacity of a $ 4,0000 computing device (in 1999 dollars) is approximately equal to the computational capability of the human brain (20 million billion calculations per second)….[that is to say, 20,000,000,000,000,000,000 calculations per second]…..”

PS: If there is no threat from the outter space--for instance and among others--, Who will stop the Socio-Technological Singularity? QUESTION: Who is ready to optimally manage risks beyond the boldest deams/nightmares? Are you working at it?
