Energy is a principal driver of the rising complexity of all such systems within the expanding, ever-changing Universe; indeed energy is as central to life, society, and machines as it is to stars and galaxies. Energy flow concentration—in contrast to information content and negentropy production—is a useful quantitative metric to gauge relative degree of complexity among widely diverse systems in the one and only Universe known. In particular, energy rate densities for human brains, society collectively, and our technical devices have now become numerically comparable as the most complex systems on Earth. Accelerating change is supported by a wealth of data, yet the approaching technological singularity of 21st century cultural evolution is neither more nor less significant than many other earlier singularities as physical and biological evolution proceeded along an undirectional and unpredictable path of more inclusive cosmic evolution, from big bang to humankind. Evolution, broadly construed, has become a powerful unifying concept in all of science, providing a comprehensive worldview for the new millennium—yet there is no reason to claim that the next evolutionary leap forward beyond sentient beings and their amazing gadgets will be any more important than the past emergence of increasingly intricate complex systems. Nor is new science (beyond non-equilibrium thermodynamics) necessarily needed to describe cosmic evolution’s interdisciplinary milestones at a deep and empirical level. Humans, our tools, and their impending messy interaction possibly mask a Platonic simplicity that undergirds the emergence and growth of complexity among the many varied systems in the material Universe, including galaxies, stars, planets, life, society, and machines.", "bookTitle": "Singularity Hypotheses", "series": "The Frontiers Collection", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2012/01/01", "publisher": "Springer Berlin Heidelberg", "place": "", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "413-440", "ISBN": "978-3-642-32559-5, 978-3-642-32560-1", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-32560-1_20", "accessDate": "2013-04-24T17:25:26Z", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "A Singular Universe of Many Singularities", "language": "en", "libraryCatalog": "link.springer.com", "callNumber": "", "rights": "©2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2013-04-24T20:14:45Z", "dateModified": "2013-04-24T20:14:45Z" } }, { "key": "MVCJD2UP", "version": 616, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 28680, "name": "The Singularity Hypothesis", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/the_singularity_hypothesis", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/28680/items/MVCJD2UP", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/the_singularity_hypothesis/items/MVCJD2UP", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 201793, "username": "amnoneden", "name": "Dr Amnon H.

There also has been rapid progress in not quite universal but still rather general and practical artificial recurrent neural networks for learning sequence-processing programs, now yielding state-of-the-art results in real world applications. And the computing power per Euro is still growing by a factor of 100–1,000 per decade, greatly increasing the feasibility of neural networks in general, which have started to yield human-competitive results in challenging pattern recognition competitions. Finally, a recent formal theory of fun and creativity identifies basic principles of curious and creative machines, laying foundations for artificial scientists and artists. Here I will briefly review some of the new results of my lab at IDSIA, and speculate about future developments, pointing out that the time intervals between the most notable events in over 40,000 years or 292^9 2 9 lifetimes of human history have sped up exponentially, apparently converging to zero within the next few decades.

I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater than human intelligence. There are several means by which science may achieve this breakthrough (and this is another reason for having confidence that the event will occur): (1) the development of computers that are 'awake' and superhumanly intelligent (to date, most controversy in the area of AI relates to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is 'yes, we can', then there is little doubt that beings more intelligent can be constructed shortly thereafter); (2) large computer networks (and their associated users) may 'wake up' as a superhumanly intelligent entity; (3) computer/human interfaces may become so intimate that users may reasonably be considered superhumanly intelligent; and (4) biological science may find ways to improve upon the natural human intellect. The first three possibilities depend in large part on improvements in computer hardware. Progress in computer hardware has followed an amazingly steady curve in the last few decades. Based largely on this trend, I believe that the creation of greater than human intelligence will occur during the next thirty years.", "proceedingsTitle": "Proc.

Tearing our families apart, rocking our economy, paralizing our political systems, shattering our values, the Third Wave affects everyone.
