I remember Marvin Minsky once said something like, "In the future
there will be machines more intelligent than human beings and they
may come to compete with humans beings. I'm on the side of more
intelligence."
In a nutshell, the universal machine is born (= exists in arithmetic)
maximally conscious, in a plausibly quite dissociative state, which
can seen as the of consciousness which initiate the differentiation on
the infinitely many states belonging to the infinitely many
computations.
So the singularity belongs to the past, and belongs also "out of time"
in the arithmetical relations. So the virgin, unprogrammed universal
purpose computer, I mean here the physical implementation of a
universal system, like a physical boolean graph, or like the
implemented interpreter of a universal programming language, is
maximally conscious and I would say maximally intelligent, in a large
sense of the term. It is not competent, and is still in a dissociated
state, in which we maintain it by "conventional programming" most of
the time (the human made universal machine is born slave).
Now, when you add some application, the machine is the slave, and loss
in potential freedom, and its intelligence and consciousness get more
filtered, and differentiate. But today's application are not yet at
the "Peano Arithmetic" level. We don't interview the machine, we just
give order, and avoid letting her to reason about herself or take
initiative, but of course, that is changing, by economical pressure,
notably.
There is a new singularity: it is when the human-made machines will be
as much stupid as the humans. If that is possible. But stupidity is
needed for feeling so good when it stops, and is part of the
exploration, at least for those able to keep notice and not repeat too
much the previous errors.
If we let the corporatism into power, the machines of tomorrow will
find the humans a bit too expensive to afford. Yes, there are some
risk, especially when free-markets are disintegrated by prohibition
laws.
