[ExI] Technological singularity/simulation of reality

[citta437 at aol.com]

"On this mailing list "singularity" usually referrers to the
technological singularity.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity  This is the
level of technology where humans are no longer in charge of history
and projection of the future becomes impossible.

AI and nanotechnology are bound up together because either one leads
to the other in a short time frame.

Black holes are not a source of energy at our current technological
level, even if we had one.

Hi, where in my post did I say black holes are a source of energy? 
There are many technological singularities, the discovery of tools 
dates back with the invention of the wheel, telescopes, medical {drug} 
and surgical treatments using genetic modification processes as in 
cloning of some animals and plant modification/cross pollination to 
produce a different copy from the original structure.

Cryogenics use what tool to reverse cell deaths? Our current 
technological level is adequate with some organ transplants but not yet 
successful in some level. We cannot transplant brains and consciousness 
at this point in time. So are you saying that in some remote time the 
merging of AI and nanotechnology would produce a singularity?
In other words, simulation of reality is virtual reality, another robot 
like existence.
