That could be one singularity scenario, but it just takes one, right? The first one will be able to easily infer what else could have reached that point. How about many-core serial-processor chips achieving singularity through complex parallel interactions? Hybrids of the two? Really clever serial processing with a hardware RNG?
Yeah, but when N+100 fails, and they are all related, oops. Just don't wait to put in the tough stuff until the end of the project, I suppose! How do you do a binary search with 1200 tests?
Right, don't say anything, anybody. Just ignore this. We have so few "sharks with lasers" posters and just loads of Singularity-themed posts. Oh, wait...nobody realizes what's going on.
How about all those cores? I think we'll need plenty of good developers until we hit the Singularity (at which point, you really don't have to worry about your kids or even yourself anymore).
If that's your advice, then you can't hack it and are trying to discourage competition. Why don't you leave? The singularity will make us all IT anyway.
I don't think this can be examined without language issues. Lojban attempts to make a parsable constructed language (currently undergoing a few grammar issues, but mostly locked down). As we get closer to the Singularity, with regards to infant-style general AI and perhaps even transhuman implants (thought detector or such), we'll see perhaps a myriad of unambiguous languages.
Larrabee is just a bunch of gross x86 cores (maybe it's one of those grids). I'm sick of looking at gross stack traces where the instruction pointer can be all over the place.
Also, didn't Intel abandon the one chipset hardware RNG they had? Even Via has one now. The singularity can't come soon enough.
How bad are the +1 funny comments? Obligatory comments? This was announced at the Singularity Summit, which caused quite the buzz. 2030? 2015? Who cares, it's coming (the Singularity, that is).

Just call it the "Singularity". It's well known enough. Can we get our own sub-slashdot?

Opencog and the Singularity Institute. When it's done, there won't be any more summer of codes. You'll become the code--seriously.
How carbon cannot come from water (so-called water-into-wine). How horses can't fly. How seas can't just rise up.
Technical people tend to be atheist. Isn't the air force full of Evangelicals? What about all the chaplains?

No mod points now, though.
Oh please. It's the same as Diggers and Redditors. Nerds. Internet nerds. We're all atheist. We're all mostly libertarian. On and on.
The binary milestones are more interesting. They might have actual implications.
Someone meta-moderated to remove the downmods? Hey, I moderated your sharks with lasers down too. Somebody cancel that too!
I pay for a subscription, and the fake departments are bad enough without this OVERRATED trash.
Hmm...
I hear that's more Google (singularity university). Oh, and it doesn't just look cool. It's the only thing and everything.
How can anything that is so much more enjoyable on ethanol be only for kids?

It's like you trivialized my religion--and I'm atheist.

Anybody use Lojban? All 5 letters with known patterns. Minji (machine), Mlatu (cat), Gerku (dog) would all be nice.
I've had all pages ad-free for awhile.
Why is this obligatory? Besides, any AI-type system wouldn't want to deal with a language as ambiguous as English.
What about macs? Also, no need for quotes around the Microsoft decline.
Not as direct as a Kurzweil, but good to hear. Thanks, by the way, for the only non-facetious reply.
