The NerdGod Delusion
Warren Ellis has posted a nice little rant about Post Singularity nutters.
(Stop looking at me that way!)
Yes I find the concepts of Singularity events fascinating.
Yes I know too much of the finer details. (Mind you anyone with an interest in Nano and has read Kurzweil probably knows some of the finer details)
Yes I suspect an "Information Event Horizon", past which we can make no predictions, is possible.
Yes I did make career decisions based on the possibility.
No I don't think it has to happen.
No I don't think a post singularity world will nessecarily be a nice place for us meatheads.
