The presentation by Todd Marks discusses the concept of the technological singularity, where computers surpass human intelligence and explore the implications for mankind. It examines trends in technology, the evolution of social media, artificial intelligence advancements, and future milestones such as digital immortality. Marks highlights the need for new conceptualizations of humanity and intelligence in the context of these technological changes.

24. Charles Stross “it happened on June 6, 1969, at eleven hundred hours, eastern seaboard time... That was when the first network control protocol packets were sent from the data port of one IMP to another – the first ever Internet connection” Stross, Charles (2005). Accelerando . New York: Ace Books. Singularity

25. What is Human?

26. The Turing Test Alan Turing proposed an operational test of intelligence as a replacement for the philosophical question, "Can machines think?" Variations of this test have been used to assess performance levels of many AI programs. (AAAI.org)

48. “ Since nanorobots would be microscopic in size, it would probably be necessary for very large numbers of them to work together to perform microscopic and macroscopic tasks. These nanorobot swarms, both those incapable of replication (as in utility fog ) and those capable of unconstrained replication in the natural environment (as in grey goo and its less common variants), are found in many science fiction stories”, but might one day be achievable.” (Wiikipedia.org/wiki/Nanorobotics) Utility Fog & Grey Goo
