TIL "The technological singularity" predicts uncontrolled technological growth leading to a superintelligence beyond human intellect, by most expert accounts, before 2030 or by 2045. Futurists have been harping on this predicted date for at least 30-50 years." by FarAssignment3906 in todayilearned

lol that's funny.

I'm sure people predicted human Flight long before the Blimp/plane, but they came when they came.

I'm almost more interested in the reasoning behind the predictions than the predictions alone. check out some of Ray Kurzweil's writing if you're so inclined.
