Humanity May Achieve the Singularity Within the Next 12 Months, Scientists Suggest

I somehow doubt this, but interesting read nonetheless
Well, the guy who is probably most famous for popularizing the term had predicted the (technological) singularity around 2045.
So, maybe?
He also predicted AGI by 2029.

I will happily bet any amount of money and possessions at any ratio to any "expert" that we won't.
My entire life earnings, every possession I own, times 100, at a 1000:1 ratio. Please, "experts" bet me, I would love to go all in on this prediction.

I tried search the web for a particular comic - I think it might have been smbc - where the person's prediction of when the singularity was inversely proportional to how long they had to live, but I can't find it.
The last panel was an old guy saying "The singularity will arrive by Friday! Hopefully before 5..."

Scientist say it's possible, yet let's see Lemmy users deny this possibility.
I canceled my Popular Mechanics subscription 20 years ago because of all the improbable headlines like this. They keep doing it.

I also doubt this, even after reading this. I remain sceptical that we will ever even reach it.
I think we sooner discover that human intelligence is more “on the rails” and a “super complex flow chart” before we discover AGI.

You're leaving money on the table if you don't leverage your bet first by taking out loans to bet more.

However, not everyone thinks AGI is a dead certainty. Some experts argue that human intelligence is more multifaceted than what the current definition of AGI describes. For example, some AI experts think of the human mind in terms of eight intelligences, of which “logical-mathematical” is just one (alongside it exists, for example, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and existential intelligence). Deep learning pioneer Yann LeCun thinks AGI should be rebranded to “advanced machine intelligence,” and argues that human intelligence is too specialized to be replicable. The report also suggests that, while AI can be an important tool in making new discoveries, it can’t make these discoveries on its own.
This is more realistic.

Predictions across the field range from a few months to a few decades
lol worthless.

Reminds me of a line from the recurring Daily Show “sports” segment:

Another classic case of someone just sharing an article and then getting bombed with down votes.
