The Cyborg of Cyberspace announces to fellow cyborgs and to humanoid fellows that the Technological Singularity remains right on schedule with an ETA of December 2012.
This reminder is prompted by the recent appearance of
singularitarian stirrings in the ivy-coated halls of Academe. At the otherwise party-school University of Pennsylvania, for instance, plans are underway to offer a course on the Singularity with a published Tentative Class Schedule. Unfortunately, the Working Bibliography shows an extreme skepticism towards the Mentifex AI project, as if it were a reason to be wary of Singularity enthusiasts. Just wait until AI Superintelligence takes its rightful place on the most powerful supercomputer in every advanced economy. The moving finger writes and, having writ, moves on.
