Yes, but how much of that computing power is accessible to you? Probably very little at the moment, and even if you had the penetration of the likes of YouTube and other massive websites, you're still only getting a fraction of the computational power of the internet. Again, worst-case: we have to make our own factories. > threshold for a singularity is to surpass the collective intelligence > of all 10^10 human brains on Earth. I am not so sure that the goal of making ai is the same as making a singularity. But this is probably less relevant. > Moore's law allows you to estimate when this will happen, but keep in Or you can make it happen yourself. Make your own fabs. Get the computer nodes you need. Write the software to take advantage of millions of nodes all at once. etc. - Bryan ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=75034625-49cfcc
