Technological Singularity

The technological singularity—or simply the singularity—is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I.J. Good's intelligence explosion model, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence. wikipedia [⇒ Power of Exponential]

> Gerade im Zusammenhang um den Zirkus der sog. Technologischen Singularität kann man feststellen, wie hier mit einem nicht unerheblichen propagandistischem Aufwand die Nichtbeobachtbarkeit von Funktionsbedingungen sozialer Zusammenhänge in einen säkularen Jenseitsglauben überführt wird. Eine technische Intelligenz könnte die menschliche Intelligenz überwuchern. Könnte dies passieren, so könnte aufgrund der überforderten menschlichen Intelligenz eine technologische Intelligenz nicht mehr festgestellt werden.

Especially in the context of the circus of the so-called technological singularity one can see how here with a not inconsiderable propagandistic effort the non-observability of functional conditions of social connections is transferred into a secular belief in the hereafter. A technical intelligence could overgrow the human intelligence. If this could happen, a technological intelligence could no longer be established because of the overtaxed human intelligence.

The author is discussing the concept of the "technological singularity" in the context of the circus and propaganda. They argue that the idea of a technical intelligence surpassing human intelligence is based on the non-observability of social connections and is being treated as a secular belief in the afterlife. If this were to actually happen, it would be impossible to establish a technological intelligence due to the overburdened human intelligence.

Technical intelligence was analyzed as a form of practical intelligence. Moral and political intelligence are also preponderant action oriented and strongly controlled by norms, but differentiated by the specific values pursued and by the kind of means utilized. Moral intelligence however cannot be integrated without difficulties in the group of practical intelligence forms, because, as we already found, achievement of moral values suppose moral knowledge, moral conscience and a complex spiritual life.

Intelligence Strategy for Fourth Generation Warfare, [no date]. Online. [Accessed 8 February 2023]. Available from: https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA449385 War theorists believe we have entered into a new generation of warfare where an evolved form of insurgency uses all available networks - political economic social military - to convince the enemys decision makers that their strategic goals are either unachievable or too costly for the perceived benefit. They have named this new era of war fourth generation warfare. Currently the Department of Defenses intelligence strategy is designed to defeat conventional adversaries vise a fourth generation warfare opponent. To be successful against a fourth generation warfare opponent the Department of Defense must transform its intelligence efforts. It must shift collection efforts from high-technology to low-technology solutions redefine intelligence indicators increase processing and analysis capabilities and develop more agile dissemination systems. In addition the Department must develop a holistic strategy to fight and win a fourth generation war. This project will discuss the theory of fourth generation warfare and highlight its distinct characteristics. The study then identifies the challenges faced by the intelligence community as a result of this new form a war. Finally recommendations will be provided to enhance intelligence support to the military in their effort to win a fourth generation war.
