I came across an interisting article on Engadget today. The article told of how the CTO of Intel believes that Singularity (the merging of man and machine) will be a reality by 2050. Here is what Intel CTO Justin Rattner actually said.
"The industry has taken much greater strides than anyone ever imagined 40 years ago," Rattner said. "There is speculation that we may be approaching an inflection point where the rate of technology advancements is accelerating at an exponential rate, and machines could even overtake humans in their ability to reason, in the not so distant future."
This got me thinking about what was said at Massive Dynamics by Nina Sharp, when she said:
"We've reached a point where science and technology have advanced at an exponential rate for so long... that it may be far beyond our ability to regulate and control it."
Could it be that Massive Dynamics is the entity behind The Pattern, and that their ultimate goal is a misguided effort to bring about a better world through singularity, no matter what the cost? Could this effort even be out of their control now?
