We'll eventually run into a problem which will stunt technological improvement. We don't have infinite resources. gb2 communist fantasy land.

if you want to be a Singularity, all you have to do is reject all sensory input; oh and that does mean ignoring your own thoughts not that you are likely to be thinking.

That's retarded, Boromir.

Did we run into a problem making clothes or houses? No, because there are a gazillion ways to do them and we keep coming up with new stuff. Same for computers.

Faster and faster it goes, until one day, the trend explodes. We will invent new things infinitely fast.
INTERESTING, apparently there will soon be an infinite number of people and resources on earth to permit this.

Do you really think people will still be around at that point? We will have been replaced by networks of sentient machines, which will slowly consume entire galaxies. Granted, the rate of progress will never be infinity, but it will keep increasing exponentially.

Humans will be on other planets by the time earth is gone. I'm sure planetary climate control is more then possible.

I've looked at the exponential function e^x before. I can guarantee you that it has no singularities.

Singularity is about 80 years away, but luckily life extension is just about 40 years away ^__________^;;
