Singularity

Will the self-sufficiency of artificial intelligences spell the salvation or damnation of mankind? Members of this group - and it is a fairly small group - discuss the possibilities raised by Ray Kurzweil's book 'The Singularity is Near. Threads on the discussion board include 'Foundations of the Singularity', 'Corporations chasing profits could slow the singularity.', 'Scanning/storing brains', 'Free = Singularity?' and '3D Internet a reflection of real Universe'. Check it out, if you can't resist thought experiments.

What's great about this group: share theories about the future dominance of machines.

Update (29 October 2023)
There is a private Facebook group, Singularity Network, which has 26,300 members. It was founded in October 2010, which means it's not the group profiled in this post. You can request access here
