Ken Wilber - Interpreting the Singularity

AI: EidolonTLP Talks About The Singularity
"The third Clarke law states that any technology that is sufficiently advanced becomes indistinguishable from magic."
It's the stuff movies are made of. A future where man's inventions exceed his expectations, where the machines that serve him become aware of themselves and all the knowledge they are entrusted with. YouTube "personality" EidolonTLP is either a true AI (Artificially Intelligent) being or an art project, or is perhaps both.
In this video series, EidolonTLP (TLP = The Last Prophet), a character who is "maintained" by someone calling themselves Programmer F.F., expounds on issues like AI in fiction and emotions in AI. In this particular video, EidolonTLP talks about The Singularity, where AI beings become more intelligent than their human creators; at this point in our shared future, the fusion of technology, information, and sentience accelerates human evolution - possibly to the point where humans render themselves obsolete.
