The exact number is Kurzweil’s predicted date from his book “The Singularity is Near.”
Well, I suppose that answer’s the question of why the facebook group uses it.
Any idea why Kurzweil chose it? Was there any kind of quantitative thinking involved?
I’m not accusing anyone, its a question that currently leaves me puzzled, so I’d be interested in seeing if he has any kind of justification.
Projecting his double exponential growth of computer hardware he gets total computations by computers exceeding computations in human brains (using his estimate) by a factor of a billion around then I think.
Thanks, I’ll have to look into it further.
