I looked and it seems like they’re just really into aliens, but I see what you’re saying in terms of posting in the Futurology sub, so my bad, sorry for dunking on ya. This probably should go in the alien subs I guess. I admire their curiosity though, I don’t think it’s aliens either, but I kind of wish it was, I’m sick of humans.

Wow what an awesome answer! Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that to me! I just wonder if it really will happen that quickly, that’s probably the limitation of my brain as it has evolved thus far, it’s hard to imagine a computer becoming self-aware, or capable of abstract thought like we are. Vast calculations of course, but can computers understand the nuances of abstract thought, or the kind of complex visual recognition, speech recognition, natural language recognition etc that the brain is capable of? That still seems a long way off but I’d love to be wrong because this whole singularity thing just seems like it has infinite possibilities
