<div> Perhaps this Singularity is coming much sooner than everyone realized? </div>

<div>"Artificial Development is building CCortex, a massive spiking neural network simulation of the human cortex and peripheral systems. Upon completion, CCortex will represent up to 20 billion neurons and 20 trillion connections, achieving a level of complexity that rivals the mammalian brain, and making it the largest, most biologically realistic neural network ever built. The system is up to 10,000 times larger than any previous attempt to replicate primary characteristics of human intelligence. "

<div>There are new projects like this popping up all over the place. There are new Singularity forums springing up everywhere. It's says on Goertzel's page that coding for his project is now '60% complete'. It actually looks to me like the Singularity Instuitute (and everyone else for that matter) is nearly out of time.

<div>I'm not going out like this. I intend to code my best 'emergency guess' and be really to launch it in 5 years. I suggest Singularity Institute (and everyone else who takes the Singularity seriously) prepare an emergency plan now.

<div>It does like best guesses, brute forcing and emergency plans are the only real hope. It's over. 5 years tops and that's I'm now thinking. </div>
