Tipping Point may not be the right word for it. I see it as sort of an unraveling and then a remolding. Much of the internet is still coming out of resource compression. It has to stretch out and reoptimize like seeking a lower energy expenditure structure for higher complexity traffic, but the lower energy structure has more inherent intelligence. Kind of. it's like it needs to jump into another efficiency plateau and there is an increasing daily pressure for this to happen. And once it's reconfigured more of it will flow into other plateaus or, I see them as harmonic "sweet spots".. blah blah.
But a wise and savvy investor who has vision, remember much of investing is hit or miss but a few investors know how to nail the bull's-eye more often than their less informed counterparts, that wise investor can sense these things. They know that something's going on and realize that now is the time to take action, getting in early and gaining a foothold *wink*. John From: Eric B.

So you see the arrival of a Tipping Point as per Malcolm Gladwell. Whether I physically benefit from the arrival of the Singularity or not, I just want to see the damn thing. I would invest some modest sums in AGI if we could get a huge collection plate going around (these collection plate amounts add up!). Eric B.
