Anyone who thinks artificial intelligence is a long way off should read "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil. The graphs from that book are featured on this page -

Technology is growing exponentially. Moore's Law is the most well-known trend, but there are dozens of other examples. The speed, power and price performance of technology is basically doubling every year. This is true for pretty much every area of science - whether it's computing, nanotech, biotech, neuroscience, etc. It's all converging.


According to Ray Kurzweil, we'll have accurate models and simulations of the entire human brain within 15-20 years. That's how fast things are progressing.

    • Hey there,  I am looking for a studio space with outdoor access (could be unused garage etc) to share with a collaborator. We do natural installations, stage design for musicians, and floristry.  Am happy to share our work for reference, but would love to pay someone to use their unwanted space! Thanks so much,  Elektra     
    • I went to Mexican Mama last week to get some bits and almost walked out without paying for some Cotija cheese till the owner stopped me and said "that's Nacho Cheese" 
    • Plusnet are great if you re-contract with them.  I frequently manage to get a lower price than they give for new customers.  I need to do mine again as my contract is up next month.   
    • Hello! I am looking for my first prenatal yoga glass and would be grateful for recommendations around East Dulwich. I have done yoga on and off for years butnever prental. Preferably after work during the week or early mornings but can make time during the day and weekends. Would love to find a teacher with good knowledge (I really don't know what I am doing) and hopefully meet a few other local women. Thank you!
