Well what will REALLY happen!!!!!

What will really happen?! The technological singularity has been called the rapture of the nerds, as the intelligence community that is fairly tight knit has gathered closely around this topic and done its best to raise awareness and money supporting research. An NPR interview for the program All Things Considered explored this sort of secret fear that the community has about the singularity and how AI (artificial intelligence) has grown at such a fast rate that it will soon become more powerful then the human brain. (NPR Kaste 2010) By saying that, they mean that it can find out what is wrong with it, and fix it and keep correcting itself at extremely speedy rates that humans will not be able to keep up with; thus possibly creating a whole new race of superhuman beings. Basically not only would technology would be exploding in intelligence at a rate unimaginable, but technology would be creating technology at an unimaginable rate. This idea is the basis of the singularity because we do not know what will happen after that, even though many have thought of this as ridiculous, over exaggerated, and even cultish.

Paul Allen, the co-founder of Microsoft writes in the Technology Review that many findings by the expert researchers are valid, but not completely accurate. As he agrees that eventually there might be a point where technology excels past human intelligence but not at the rate that Kurzweil predicted through his Law of Accelerating Returns that he is so famous and at the same time infamous for. (Kurzweil 2001) His retorts too many of the ideas coming from this singularity scare are noteworthy by saying Without having a scientifically deep understanding of cognition, we can't create the software that could spark the singularity. Rather than the ever-accelerating advancement predicted by Kurzweil, we believe that progress toward this understanding is fundamentally slowed by the complexity brake. Thus saying that we barely know completely how our own human brain works. The more we discover about it, the more we discover the possibilities of research about the makeup of our own intelligence make-up. The complexity brake is the thing that halts the progress of the singularity, or slows its progression. (Allen 2011)

There have been many ideas and concepts on how life would be like after the singularity, which many people range from occurring 35-50 years from now. Some people think that man will align themselves with the superhuman intelligent beings and harness its power to extend our intellectual abilities. (Kayo 2010) Others think that we will clash with the new cyborgs and in the end be annihilated from this Earth because of it. No matter what ideas that researches can propose, the idea of a new world era is so preposterous that it is beyond human thought. (Vinge 1993)
