Entropy, at Ace of Spades

206 I love this singularity bubkis. Computer technology is advancing so fast, yadda yadda yadda.

The logic has not changed since they were invented. We're still playing out all the variations on the same thing, is all, it's still rather infant.

Computer technology has advanced in much the same way internal combustion technology has advanced. Cars keep getting faster and faster and faster... soon no doubt they will develop conciousness and rebel against their human masters.

Um no, it's just a car. Obviously that's silly. But with computers, lots of people assert we're somehow getting closer to conciousness, based on the fact that we are getting calculators to do basic arithmetic faster.
