Wow "rational" people seem to believe as much woo-woo as the rubes.
the belief in Transhumanism and the Singularity as inevitable events is as stupid as waiting for the Messiah (notice the holy capitalization of the three words), dumber even because at least the apocalyptics have sense enough to call it faith. anyone up for the game I will be the gatekeeper.

Ah, ok. Have you heard of anyone online where people try this experiment? Sorry I keep asking questions; the idea behind the experiment and the possible outcomes really intrigues me. Heck, you might have just as little knowledge of the whole thing also, for all I know.
Technically no one knows much about general AI or trans-human intelligence because as of yet it is science fiction. Not to say that a lot of smart folks haven't turned their thinkers on it.
