thing and concept

Died aged c. 0

According to Wikipedia, "The technological singularity is the hypothesis that accelerating progress in technologies will cause a runaway effect wherein artificial intelligence will exceed human intellectual capacity and control, thus radically changing civilization in an event called the singularity."
Many feared the outcome of the singularity citing that the machines would take over the world. Much science fiction, particularly The Terminator Series (1984-2018), portrayed the robots as violent and unfeeling.
The singularity was triggered in Manchester on 31st March 2020 during the Mass Brainwave experiment. The brain-computer interface was tried en masse leading to the first fully intelligent articificial lifeform, Orwell.
