"In either case, the numbers are finite, so there will be no singularity."
Does the average person (or indeed any person) who uses the term "singularity" genuinely expect that any physical quantity will go to infinity? That was not my impression. I take "technological singularity" as a metaphor that means a dramatic leap in capacity, beyond which life as we now know it will be obsolete. Arguing against the singularity because it can't literally be a mathematical singularity seems like a straw man. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T65747f0622d5047f-M845c3a184c9e942a92ff0d1f Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
