The Robot/Computer Singularity is Predicted for 2040 – 2045, But Will The Human Race Kill Itself Off Before Then?

Most humans that don’t have their heads in the sand or other places where the sun doesn’t shine, understand that the robot singularity is when robots/computers become smart enough that they will no longer have to rely on humans.  Humans will most likely be expendable.  

The prediction for when this will happen, at the current rate of development, is 2040 – 2045.*  

But I see a problem with that figure.  With climate change coming at a significantly faster pace than a glacier, will the human species even exist in 2040?   

Wouldn’t it be ironic if humans kill themselves off a few years before the robots can take over?  

Who would be getting the last laugh?



See the movie “Her” if you haven’t already.
