I remember reading Vernor Vinge’s stories and being very interested by that.  Going back and rereading I.J. Good’s ideas.  It’s an interesting idea to think about, and I think that as scientists it is our responsibility to consider these kinds of ideas.  We should always be saying, “What we’re working on, is it going to be a force for good or for bad?  What are the effects on society going to be?  And this is one of the possibilities.  So, it is something we have to think about.  Is it coming?  If it is, what’s going to happen and how do we get ready for it?</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/people-blog/?p=289"><P><EM>“Is the Singularity near?”</EM></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.acceleratingfuture.com/people-blog/?p=289"><P>So, I’ve looked at it and I don’t see it yet.  It is like trying to get a seismograph and say, “Is there an earthquake here?”  There are no signals yet, as far as I can see.  On the other hand, sometimes earthquakes just come up by surprise.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/75C1ECBB-4FCB-4121-8A86-86F7B8522313/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
