The Singularity for Dummies
Discover what to do when your toaster is smarter than you.
I had a nagging suspicion I'd left my copy of The Singularity for Dummies at my buddy's place, but the details were fuzzy. Was it pre- or post-robot uprising? Oh, that's right - it was post-uprising! With a dash of bravery, I set the janky time machine’s coordinates for the thick of this timeline to snatch back my beloved guide.
Surprisingly, my daring timeline dive was rather uneventful. No metallic horde to dodge, no lasers to leap over. I was in and out faster than an AI could plagiarize an essay.
Now, I know the cover image of The Singularity for Dummies has more doom and gloom than a low-budget sci-fi flick, but trust me, the future is as mundane as a century-old algorithm. The average human doesn't do much – not much at all, actually. Homes are assigned, media is algorithmically tailored, meals arrive like clockwork, and every basic need is taken care of. No complaints here, but I’m still looking forward to getting back to my primeline to watch YouTube and order Uber Eats.
Same same but different.
That's awesome, and maybe cuts a little too close to reality!
I remember reading The Singularity is Near in 2005 and getting chills. Never looked back.
Funny funny ! : ). Of course there's a for Dummies for such an event. I wonder how many people at large in the general population even know OF it - let alone WHAT it means to them on a day to day basis. That series was popular I think because it assumed ZERO knowledge about the topic off the hop...
