#1 Singularity Alert! Mentifex AI has gone mainstream for the first time ever.
http://blog.wired.com/sterling/index.blog?entry_id=1473059 is a WIRED Magazine Blog by Bruce Sterling, who came upon http://www.blogcharm.com/Singularity/25603/Timetable.html and reported it in the WIRED Blog, causing hundreds of hits. **** #2 Singularity Alert! ATM/Mentifex here started with a hope of perfecting http://mind.sourceforge.net/mind4th.html in 2006, and thus *additively* calculated these stages: 2006 -- True AI 2007 -- AI Landrush 2009 -- Human-Level AI 2011 -- Cybernetic Economy 2012 -- Superintelligent AI 2012 -- Joint Stewardship of Earth 2012 -- Technological Singularity Now a fellow on SlashDot has (in effect) pointed out that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2012 (not his link) has a discussion about the "Mayan end time," or the idea that the ancient Mayan calendar comes to an end in 2012 -- the same year that Mentifex here calculated as the year of the Technological Singularity. http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=523612 has a similar discussion about the special date of 21 DEC 2012. Upshot: The Singularity (according to Mentifex, at least) gets a free ride on the coattails of the Mayan Calendar. Respectfully submitted, Arthur T.
