Transhumanism

>How long until we reach the singularity?

Well according to Karellen and Rashaverak it'll be when we've created an entire generation of hiveminded psychics who exist only to one day to cause the earth itself to simply disappear with us having become pure energy, part of the Overmind.

To reach the singularity, we need to have AI smarter than us.

Right now, we can't even make AI dumber than us, much less our equal. The one thing we do know is that we are pretty sure we cannot make a real AI with our current computer technology or programming mediums. There is no combination or application of binary circuitboards that is going to result in AI, we need high end quantum computing the likes we have only barely scratched the surface of.

Baring an absolutely revolutionary leap forward in technology, I wouldn't an AI to exist within our children's lifetimes, much less our own. We should get there eventually, but there are just too many unknown steps between here and there for me to expect it to happen any time soon.

Well... yeah.

>>14336561
You mean benefit from massive mutilations that will leave you in debt and at the mercy of any hacker with the proper skills?

Shit, I don't know, transsexuality is pretty trendy right now, maybe if you use their ideology to push that envelope, maybe it can be done within this century.

humanity will be obselete if and when this ever happens

What is your take on "machine learning" and those who claim it's going to replace code in the near future?

Remember kids, people don't die if they kill themselves by whittling hair-thin pieces off their flesh and bones their body every day over the course of months or years.

Also souls are real because computers.

I think machine learning is a really interesting idea that could, potentially, save us a lot of work and end end up more flexible computers. But I don't think its going to totally replace code or the people who write code.

There are just too many applications that you need to code for, not all of which are machine learning appropriate, and every one of THOSE is a unique case.

Machine Learning is like the invention of a new tool in a factory. You are going to make the factory workers better at their job, and it its a tool that eliminates a whole step or more of the building process then you might replace a handful of factory workers on the assembly line. But even a fully automated factory still needs some human presence and oversight in order to direct, build, and maintain the machines that actually create the product.
