I agree with Vinge. From an information theoretic viewpoint, if the singularity represents vastly greater knowledge, then we only have a tiny fraction of it now. Unless you call all the rest of it "details". But we don't know now if there will even be a singularity. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
