| 17:11:05 | MoEnzyme | * MoEnzyme is catching up on BBS thread. http://www.churchofvirus.org/bbs/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=43531;start=0;boardseen=1 |
| 17:11:26 | Bohandez | Hi Mo |
| 18:03:39 | MoEnzyme | heya Bohandez! :) |
| 18:03:55 | MoEnzyme | I just posted something to the "Third Replicator thread". |
| 18:08:09 | MoEnzyme | Yeah, I don't buy "temes" as a new replicator. |
| 18:09:13 | MoEnzyme | Something like that may yet happen someday, and I think that's what people interested in the "singuluarity" are talking about. |
| 18:10:25 | MoEnzyme | But most people interested in the singularity don't believe its already happened . . . whereas Blackmore seems to be suggesting that it already has occurred. |

| 18:11:33 | MoEnzyme | "A technological singularity is a hypothetical event occuring when technological progress becomes very rapid due to positive feedback, making the future after the Singularity qualitatively different and hard to predict. It has been suggested that one will occur during the 21st century, and there are several mechanisms by which a singularity could occur." |
| 18:12:47 | MoEnzyme | "Vernor Vinge proposed that the creation of smarter-than-human intelligence would represent a breakdown in humans' ability to model their future. In the same way that a worse chess player cannot predict the next move of a better chess player, and less intelligent animals cannot predict the actions of humans, so too humans cannot predict the actions of more intelligent entities. He compared it to the breakdown of physics so th |

| 18:13:57 | MoEnzyme | * MoEnzyme accidentally exceeded his char. limit ;) |
| 18:15:10 | MoEnzyme | I think that would be the kind of event(s) which would characterize the emergence of "temes", and I don't think we've arrived there yet in our evolution. |
| 18:15:53 | MoEnzyme | That would effectively be an artificial intelligence. |
| 18:20:23 | MoEnzyme | Bohandez, I also responded to your related thread http://www.churchofvirus.org/bbs/index.php?board=3;action=display;threadid=43532 |
| 18:38:03 | MoEnzyme | Alright, I talk with you later. Time for dinner. |
| 18:38:49 | MoEnzyme | * MoEnzyme waves goodbye to aloril, Bohandez, CruelOctopus, googlebot, loglady, and all the good people reading the chat logs. :) |
| 18:38:51 | googlebot | Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. NOW who's asking the questions? |
| 18:39:24 | MoEnzyme | Good job changing the subject, googlebot. |

| 18:39:34 | MoEnzyme | bye now :) |
