Technological Singularity
built 141 days ago
The Technological Singularity is a predicted future event in human history caused by the ever-increasing ability of new technology to speed up the rate at which new technology is developed. There is one type of technology that has an enormous potential for self-hosted speedup in the very short term: open source software on the Internet.

“The Technological Singularity is the hypothesized creation, usually via AI or brain-computer interfaces, of smarter-than-human entities that rapidly accelerate technological progress. Futurists have varying opinions regarding the time, consequences, and plausibility of such an event.

The concept of the Technological Singularity is that technology is used to create new and more powerful technologies, and this creates a positive feedback cycle. The rate of development constantly accelerates, until, at some point in the future, there is an "explosion", where all possible new technologies are developed in a fraction of a second by a super-intelligent entity, whose super-intelligence is itself a result of the accelerated development of technology.
