Yeah, Ben and I just gave a talk (with other wonderful folks at the NIH) about this and other topics while reviewing Ray's book, The Singularity Is Near.
here's more info:
http://www.agiri.org...p?showtopic=129
In about ten minutes, I covered Chapter 8: The Deeply Intertwined Promise and Peril of GNR (power point here.
The "take home" message I hoped to convey from Ray in Chapter 8, is that super intelligence will be impossible to "control" by its lesser intelligent creators, such that one of the things we may do currently to ensure a good Singularity is to promote a positive value system.
Ray writes on page 424:
Our primary strategy in this area should be to optimize the likelihood that future non-biological intelligence will reflect our values of liberty, tolerance, and respect for knowledge and diversity. The best way to accomplish this is to foster those values in our society today and going forward. If this sounds vague, it is. But there is no purely technical strategy that is workable in this area, because greater intelligence will always find a way to circumvent measure that are the product of a lesser intelligence.

Doing so-so! I feel like a scoundrel for leaving this community suddenly and without notice. Great picture, Bruce! Nice to see that you gathered a mature crowd. Transhumanism itself will become more mature as the average age of followers increases.

It's funny this should come up as a topic.
I'm actually in the process of creating a bunch of Singularity oriented comics. When I'm done I'll hopefully have a kind of Singularity intro/FAQ that explains (very visually) what all this stuff is about.

Ben Goertzel's son, Zeb (age 12), has recently created a short film called "Robo Turtle II" about how Ben, Cassio and Izabela (three computer scientists) create a superhuman AI called Novamente that eventually destroys the universe.
