The singularity definition on Wikipedia is a hypothetical future point when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization.

Speaks for itself. All the futuristic tech that we like to ponder about becomes reality. A lot of this will be AI driven because the computational power of computers continues to rise and eventually the future supercomputers will have the power of all human brains on the planet combined.

As far as when it will happen? Some acclaimed futurists like Kurzweil put it at 2045, lots of people in this community believe it will happen by the end of this decade, or next year or why not tomorrow (LOL). I put it around 2050. The sooner the better of course.

Thanks for replying. I’m new to learning about all this so your response is tops.

Why do you put it around 2050 so confidently?

It’s a date far enough in the future to seem far away but close enough that he can expect to live long enough to see it.

Thought so too, it’s not based on any real life expertise or scientific predictions

It’s mostly a wild guess. I don’t want to be too optimistic to the point to where I’m delusional or out of touch with reality like some people in this community thinking it will happen in a couple years or something.

I think AGI can be accomplished by 2030 and then the next 10+ years after that is anyone’s guess.

But like I said the sooner the better and I like to be proven wrong.

When do you think the Singularity will happen?

Don’t wanna be rude but you kinda don’t know what you’re talking about. In one breath you’re saying 2050, in another breath you say that AGI will be accomplished by 2030. What makes you think it would take 20 years to go from AGI to singularity?

Ok so when do you think this shit will happen?

20 years? 50 years? 500 years? Never?

I’m basing my analysis on exponential growth of technologies. I’m not exactly extremely knowledgeable on the AI field nor do I have any credentials but then again neither do you probably.

So please answer my question. When do you think the Singularity will happen?

If you don’t have an answer then kick rocks.

the guy before you is right from AGI to singularity it makes no sense for it to take 20 years. AGI should be able to design SGI which will also design even better a.i.

now when AGI happens ? i am going to go with Kurzweil and say somewhere between 2028 and 2032

Like I said I HOPE I AM WRONG and that things happen faster than my predictions.

If AGI does occur in 2030 and Singularity occurs 5 years later in 2035 then I would be happy as a clown.
