I learned something new today: A singularity (small s) is not the same as The Singularity. So the general definition of a singularity as we all know is the point at the center of a black hole where everything converges, common laws of physics break down and everything goes to hell in a hand-basket.

The Singularity is a term coined in the Artificial Intelligence community.

"The Singularity is defined as the point in time where Superior Artificial Intelligence (SAI) is created. An SAI can, by definition, think thoughts that human intelligence can not. This then, is the point where our model of the future breaks down. We cannot possibly predict what an SAI would come up with at ‘the other end’ of the Singularity. We are not superintelligent ourselves."

That’s an interesting thought. I mean what could an SAI think of that we cannot? The answer is: I don’t know. And I can never know. Even if you told me I still wouldn’t get it.  The sad part is that I have the same problem with a lot of thoughts, not just SAI thoughts.
