You recently bought a Mac? (must control Linux and computer building evangelism...)
Anyway, welcome. I look forward to your post, and seeing your reasons for doubting the possibility of singularity. With my limited research so far, I am nearly certain it is inevitable, if not imminent.
Now I need to go rant on a computer hardware site to get expensive pre-built computers out of my system.…
Also bought a Ubuntu disk and book, intending to go dual-boot on the Mac, but haven’t installed it yet. Yeah, the Mac cost too much, but I bought it because I had never owned an Apple and I have worked with a variety of Unix systems. Currently, I am trying for nerdish breadth rather than depth. And having built an Altair, my computer
build-it-yourself hunger is already satiated.
I recently published my FOOM-denialist rant as a comment on the “Why trust SIAI” thread. But that was two days ago. I don’t much agree with what I wrote there. The singularity seems to me to be much closer now.

An LW semi-tradition I try to encourage: When one changes one’s mind after a discussion, go back and add a note to the original post stating your new position and what led you to change it. Hopefully this will help us build a map of what arguments are correct and convincing.
I try to always upvote such things. Changing your mind should be a party.

I edited the rant adding my second thoughts.
Thx for reminding me to do so.
