What is Phenomenological singularity?
Answer Singularity is when strong AI occurs everything will be possible thanks to that AI. It will improve itself recursively until it is the ultimate intelligence and …influences the world in the best possible way. It will be greater than in Futurama. We will be immortal and continually evolving, expanding throughout the universe. Experts think it could only take about 9 years, when we really really try. But a more realistic date for Strong AI is about the 2040's or 2050's. See more on the page of the Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence -> www.singinst.org. Universal Darwinian algorithm applies to all replicators. The gene machine is a replicator and was the cause of all life on earth with the exception of Homo Sapien Sapien. When our ancestors were able to mimic each other a new replicator was born and humans evolved with two replicators (gene machines and meme machines) in a symbiotic relationship giving rise to large brains and language. Soon a third type of replicator will evolve 'techno-memes machines' or 'teme machines' also known as Artificial intelligence. Each replicator is faster than the previous and the universal darwinian algorithm evolves at an exponential rate (check moores law). The time period when the rate of evolution is too fast for meme machines to keep up with the teme machines is the phenomenological singularity. There is a gradual merging of biological and non biological life and the resulting posthumans exists at new evlutionary level. Probably much more advance to us than we are to mice. (MORE)
