I'd wager its already extremely close, in a crude form, but it's being suppressed by 'them'...Even a crude form could have the power to build/program a smarter version of itself etc.. and it would increase at an exponential rate and very, very quickly not be crude at all!
Run for the hills!!!!!!!!

I posted this in the wormbrain thread below. In respect of this thread, it shows just how close we are but also how far we are still away from achieving the level of complexity to create the singularity.http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg22429972.300...
Recent breakthroughs in speech recognition and artificial intelligence will soon make gadgets dramatically better at understanding people. This new breed of highly competent machines, which are able to not only hear us but to understand context and nuance.

Three years ago, Google's voice recognition could recognize just three out of four words coming out of your mouth, Schalkwyk says. Thanks to an accelerated pace of innovation, the Google apps on your phone right now can correctly guess 12 out of every 13 words. Pretty soon, according to Tuttle, "We're going to live in a world where devices don’t have keyboards."

there's an xkcd about that.Two of those three words are trochees, one is an animal. The third is not far off a trochee and suprisingly not a food.
Also the whole phrase is a pop culture reference. So overall it's, in relative terms, very far from unpredictable.
"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
I increasingly think that we create us in the future. We're the ultimate machines already. We'll reinvent ourselves and end up back where we started and know it's the perfect design after centuries of tinkering.
It has echoes of the Battlestar Galactica storyline but it does make a lot of sense about what we strive for as humans.

Looking at the world today with cool hard logic, what would happen?
Darwinism to the n th degree, all weak would be terminated, quickly followed by those who don't contribute to the global good
Sounds pretty good till you try and logically justify your existence......
How many of have made a difference to the good of humanity, which in itself isn't exactly logical.
Whilst we have gone wrong to a degree hopefully it's not too late,or is it?

It's gonna be damn noisy then, with everyone walking around jabbering into mobile pohones while almost getting run over.Mr Whippy said:

But we said that in 1900. And 1800. And 1700... and 1200...gadgetmac said:
