Listen boys....if you use your eyes and take 5 minutes to read the article you'd find that it talks about the exponential rate at which technology is growing....which in the next 20 years or so will lead to computer technology that surpasses human brain processing power. This is the point at which Nature and Technology merge into one singularity. Which in laymans (Read "Average 12ozprophet User") terms means,

mahahahaha!!! this threads a joke.

 

and note to you: just because theres reading material on it, doesnt make it true.

 

I would agree with you on the point that not all things that are written about are true. However, when scientists in fields ranging from NASA to biotechnology to mathematics all speculate that it is possible for it to happen, I tend to lean towards it.

 

Oh, and Mr. ABC, nice comeback.

 

The matrix bit was meant as a joke, not a serious argument.

YOU HAVE A DISEASE. ITS CALLED STUPIDITY.

 

I would have to say the same thing to you, Mr. Capslock, considering you are attacking me personally instead of trying to refute the actual argument.

lean towards what? when it all comes down to it, they're guessing. unless they've got a crystal ball or a tricked out delorian in the parking lot, they don't know if it's going to happen any more than you or i. i don't care how many phd's they've got on their walls.

 

is it a possibility? sure, but so is the possibility of me marrying scarlett johanssen next year. is it set in stone? no.

That's all I wanted. It's a possibility that's all, albeit a scary/interesting one.

Yeah, all he wanted was for somebody he didn't know on a graffiti website to admit to the remote possibility of a kind of cracked out theory that he didn't even come up with being maybe capable of happening.

 

HE FUCKING SHOWED YOU, ABC. IN YOUR FACE.

It's good to be mindful, but don't expect any of this to come true to the extent laid out on the article.
