Ace Dreamer Wrote:Singularity is capitalised. You might know, on a meta level, that the writings on Fenspace have a techno-utopian bias. The characters in the Fenspace stories don't. The "Fenspace Infinities" story Archimedes Lever, about a Nanoclasm, that's a 'Singularity'.I know what "Singularity" means... and just between you and me, I think Dee had multiple of them. Go off through the roof with the tech development, then hit a new slow-development area... until you get to the next accelerator.
"Archimedes Lever" is one of the "funny but not cannon" Fenspace-Infinity stories...
Quote:It's been made clear, in a number of cases, that AIs have plenty of time to think. If you know that talking about something is very likely to help end the fun that is Fenspace, you are likely to be cautious. Singularity Club might be a bit short on any plans, except "try and make the Singularity later, not sooner", and similar for other extinction level possibilities. Of course there will be stuff posted, but, is it anything but conspiracy theory?Most AIs in Fenspace are just like digital people...
Quote:I wouldn't be at all surprised if the AIs have had to swat a rogue AI or two, trying to hack the interweave, or going for a Singularity take-off. But, this sort of story likely wouldn't have much human involvement, and, Fenspace is (mostly) about stories about humans.I think Fenspace had more trouble with human(oid) Mads than with AIs... seems AIs are the more sane people in Fenspace.
