In Civilization IV you can only research the first two. I guess that's why my slaves can never break free of my tyrannical rule! Muahahahahahaha!!!!!

Metric,

What does singularity mean, in this regard? I understand the acceleration of change, but does it have some other symbolic meaning?

[Bjorn]

There are many websites if you want to know more...

The short version:
If computing speeds double every two years,
what happens when computer-based AIs are doing the research?
Computing speed doubles every two years.
Computing speed doubles every two years of work.
Computing speed doubles every two subjective years of work.

Two years after Artificial Intelligences reach human equivalence, their speed doubles. One year later, their speed doubles again.

Six months - three months - 1.5 months ... Singularity.

From what I understand, IF humans can construct AI's (or some other form of "construct") of human eqvivalent intelligence superhuman intelligence will follow shortly afterwards and then development accelerates out of control.

Basically, it's tough to predict anything post-singularity (which is why it's called a singularity to begin with), but humanity will certainly be transformed and the old concept of coersive state will at the very least be hopelessly outmoded and irrelevant. I'm sure there will be new things to worry about, but I'm optimistic for more or less the same reasons you are, basically because the argument hinted at by your timeline gets exponentially more powerful as you extrapolate it into the future.

And if you two had too guess are we looking at an I Robot future. A Terminator Future. A Star Trek Future. Or my Favoriate the Idiocracy future ???????

Kind of scary having autonomomus robots
