Is the technological singularity inevitable?

>technological singularity
>any kind of singularity

do you people not understand what "determinism" technological or not means? this shit has been discussed in academia to death and is quite a boring topic yet uneducated people keep bringing it up because someone came up with a new name for it

Yeah, uneducated people asking about something like this, definitely a reason to be pissed. Moron. At least he's not sitting around only worried about getting laid. Jaded assholes like you are the cancer.

people in the 80-90's looked at technological progress and said "hey by the 2020 we'll be on mars billy!!"

that's you today when talking about AI, super intelligence and singularities - let me spoil it for you: the next 20 years are going to be real boring, more than you can imagine

ProTip: If your chart is of questionable validity make it real small and low res, then it is hard for people to read it. And thus hard to repudiate!

Cosmic octaves, not 6 epochs

Race war and terrorists will put a dent in technological development, not that we haven't been lagging already. We used to go to the moon. People actually used to walk on the moon.

Epoch four and six don't actually exist. They're sort of jagged in there where they don't belong. The previous three phases of evolution as correct, but the author of that pic is gravely mistaken about the nature of consciousness, intelligence, and algorithms-based intellect, all of which are three separate things.

Epoch five is the true fourth and final epoch.

war or economic depression hasn't slowed technological progress in the last 500 years. I don't know about the middle ages, but I don't think it really did then either.
