Many of you might have heard of the term "Singularity". Wikipedia defines it as "The technological singularity is a hypothesized point in the future variously characterized by the technological creation of self-improving intelligence, unprecedentedly rapid technological progress, or some combination of the two."
The concept originates from Good's very popular speculation:
"Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an ‘intelligence explosion,’ and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make."
Today, I came across something that's similar to this notion, but totally baffling and awe-inspiring.. The hypothesis from Michael Pollen on how we are headed to a world dominated by CORN and GRASS and not by machines..!!! Baffled..?? Check this video:
