All this talk about proving something before doing
it is beside the point. We, as a species, as a government, as scientists,
as individuals, never prove anything before we try it. We just
don't. Think of the many examples of new stuff we have done. Have we
proved any of them would be safe before we did them? No. We're not
going to prove that the Singularity is safe or Friendly before we make
one. I doubt if it's possible for a Singularity to be safe or Friendly,
but I can't prove it.
If you really were interested in working on the
Singularity you would be designing your education plan around getting a job at
the NSA. The NSA has the budget, the technology, the skill set, and the
motivation to build the Singularity. Everyone else, universities, private
companies, other governments, are lacking in some aspect compared to the
NSA. A close second is Japan. They built robots that just lack a
brain to be truly useful. They build super computers. They don't
want to be number two in this race and they know it's a race, and they know who
they are racing against. 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] |
