Your equation "life = meaning/time" tells me that perception of time is measured in bits per second. Since the learning rate goes to infinity at a singularity, that tells me that a singularity seems infinitely far into the future. There is no "after" a singularity.
But I don't believe there will be a singularity. First, the universe is finite. All exponentially growing processes stop when they run out of resources. The storage capacity of the universe is Mc^2/kT = 10^92 bits, where M = 10^53 Kg is the mass of the universe, c is the speed of light, k is Boltzmann's constant, and T = 3 K is the temperature. Lloyd estimated that the 10^80 particles in the universe could encode 10^90 bits within Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. That's still a big number, like 10^81 human lifetimes at 10^9 bits of human long term memory capacity. Still, there won't be a fast takeoff because intelligence is not a point on a line. You can't compare human and machine intelligence. Computers are a billion times smarter in arithmetic and short term memory, but can never exceed human level in a Turing test. Which definition do you want? How do you think a singularity will happen? Why 2042? On Wed, Feb 12, 2025, 9:50 AM Keyvan M.
