Singularity

I mean, by singularity you mean that all the usual known laws lose

their meaning and that something sort of explodes, causing the whole

of existence - space and time and the people - to take on a di erent

form. at is what you call ‘singularity’ and you envisage it as a capacity

of arti cial intelligence, through which the computational capacity of

Man increases to such an extent, thanks to AI, that what you can then

do in a second, you cannot do now in a whole lifetime

“Of course, the chess player also thinks and wonders what the countermoves will be if she does this or that. Of course, she can’t foresee all

possible steps - neither can the computer, but it can sequentially make

and calculate them. But what is completely lost from sight is that it

is a game, and that it is the joy of the game! A game you have to be

able to play correctly, but also to play wrongly. It’s not about one sort

of perfection ghting with another perfection, because then it doesn’t

make any sense at all. It is all about enjoying the game.”

But there could come a time when

the cloud of information could

spread out over the whole cosmos

at a greater speed than light can,

and even radiate through the black

holes to outside cosmic areas - that

is to say, areas we cannot know yet.”
