The singularity effect has been found to work even in the circumstance of an individual victim contrasted against a pair of victims. When a charity presents two victims over a singular victim results show that a significantly larger amount of donations are made towards the singular victim.
The concept and the term "singularity" were popularized by Vernor Vinge – first in 1983 (in an article that claimed that once humans create intelligences greater than their own, there will be a technological and social transition similar in some sense to "the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole", [10]) and later in his 1993 essay ...
[4] [7] Scholars often disagree with one another both about what types of post-AI scenarios are most likely, and about what types of post-AI scenarios would be most desirable. Finally, some dissenters argue that AI will never become as intelligent as humans, for example because the human race will already likely have destroyed itself before ...
Gottman's Four Horsemen are four negative communication patterns that can signal the end of a relationship. An expert reveals how to work on them together.
Futurists have long debated the arrival of the singularity, when human and artificial intelligence will merge, a concept borrowed from the world of quantum physics.
System relatedness: the effects of a singularity are characteristic of the system. Uniqueness: The nature of a singularity does not arise from the scale of the cause, so much as of its qualitative nature. Irreversibility: Events at a singularity commonly are irreversible; one cannot un-crack a glass with the same force that cracked it.
Singularity (system theory), in dynamical and social systems, a context in which a small change can cause a large effect Gravitational singularity, in general relativity, a point in which gravity is so intense that spacetime itself becomes ill-defined
To put this in context, however, this is one man’s vision of the future. There is currently no technology even approaching what Kurzweil is predicting, nor is there any guarantee his vision will ...
