Matt, My own view is that a human-based singularity is MUCH closer. The problem is NOT a shortage of GFLOPS or suitable software, but rather, a repairable problem in our wetware. Sure, a silicon solution might eventually be faster, but why simply wait until then?
Apparently, I failed to successfully make this point to the people who were paying Singularity's bills. *Steve* On Thu, Jun 14, 2018 at 12:47 PM, Matt Mahoney via AGI <[email protected] > wrote: > The singularity list (and SL4) died years ago.

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5ada390c367596a4-Md1a36411257f817e0eaf1812 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups
