What you're speaking of *is* singularity, just not by the on-this-list generally expected means. Someone can have no expectation that superhuman intelligence is easy enough to do without trial and error, and still expect singularity through merely molecular manufacturing and computing power. Even this type of singularity is really difficult to explain to people, though, and we already have a close analogue to this: software. -- Randall Randall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "This is a fascinating question, right up there with whether rocks fall because of gravity or being dropped, and whether 3+5=5+3 because addition is commutative or because they both equal 8." - Scott Aaronson ----- 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/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
