they won't really render themselves 'obsolete'.

machines will be more intelligent than us, but unless we program in a "drive" along with emotions, they'll be just automatons. Imagine Data from Star Trek.

The Singularity is like the flying car of our time. Very misunderstood in its capabilities.

Aren't we already obsolete?

Hope: Faster than light.
Expect: First space colony. functional stem-cell organs for humans.

>> No.6401244

Expect to see
-Stem cell farming to grow entirely new organs, muscles, and bones for replacement.
-robotic organs
-quantum computers
-radio telepathy via embedded transmitters
-holographic computers controlled via motion sensing
-element synthesis

Hope to see
-brain transplants
-neural regeneration
-the melding of the biological and computerized world

I'd like a toilet where my weener won't touch the bowl and water won't splash my ass when I drop the bomb.
