The Technological Singularity

have you heard of it? It's a pretty trippy concept in general.
I found a site where this guy talks about psychedelic experiences and the singularity. he has some pretty cool and weird insights.

psychesingularity.wordpress.com

I dunno, what do you guys think?

aslong as things continue, technology will only grow and expand faster and faster, I believe the singularity in its most general sense revolves around the invention of Artificial Intelligence, and its ability to self improve, and self replicate, thus giving you an unimaginable expansion of technology and information. it is a fairly mind blowing idea and after elevating yourself with said psychedelics the idea only seems more clearer@!

I can only hope a Seed AI will be built in my lifetime.  :psychsplit:

It is very cool.

Some direction for the technological singularity:

self-improving artificial intelligences

artificial nano-technological "life forms" that reproduce and evolve

The union of organics and technology ie. cyborgs

Fully immersive virtual realities that equal or exceed the sensory reality of "real" life

The union of drugs and  virtual reality to create a whole new level of existence... imagine being hooked in to a fully 3d virtual reality, then dosed with ketamine or LSD...

Everything I post is fiction.

what would an AI look like? would it have ports? would it be self contained? would it have a face? ability to express itself visually. What would its components look like, what kind of interface would it have. Fun things to think about.
