Billions of years of biological evolution has culminated to an intelligent species of hominids that in their sudden industrial-digital revolution create machines that can take them places they can\u2019t even imagine. And to think that they don\u2019t even pay attention to the transformation as neural networks make their first major appearances, as AI enters each of the main fields of science, and breakthroughs in computing threaten to leave even Moore\u2019s Law in the dust. So do as I do and spread the word!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wonder why I say the singularity is here? No it hasn\u2019t literally begun, but the process directly leading to it is already underway. When I saw this little chart here <a href=\"http:\/\/28oa9i1t08037ue3m1l0i861.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Edge1.png\">http:\/\/28oa9i1t08037ue3m1l0i861.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Edge1.png<\/a> I realized it was fair to say we\u2019ve arrived, and it\u2019s about to begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether or not this is your first time hearing of the singularity, check out this post by Tim Urban <a href=\"http:\/\/waitbutwhy.com\/2015\/01\/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html\">http:\/\/waitbutwhy.com\/2015\/01\/artificial-intelligence-revolution-1.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And read about what it actually is here <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Technological_singularity\">http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Technological_singularity<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/files\/TWITS-10.10.15.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img src=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/files\/TWITS-10.10.15-articles.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n      ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>        &lt;  &gt;<br \/>\n       <a href=\"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/2015\/10\/11\/less-less-this-week-in-the-singularity-greater-greater\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":77,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[93],"tags":[120,124,126,125,94,106,101,123,100],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23626"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/77"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23626"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23626\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23626"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23626"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/csidemedia.com\/mikerm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23626"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
