Summary: http://c-realmpodcast.podomatic.com/entry/2010-01-06T06_25_01-08_00 KMO welcomes Noble Ape creator Tom Barbalet to the program to discuss the nature of intelligence. Is survival the best indicator of intelligence? Is there anything special about so called "general intelligence?" Tom thinks that the leading Singularitarians proceed in their thinking about simulation, technology, and intelligence based on some very naive premises. Has the technological singularity already occurred? Tom gives his reason for thinking that it took place in the 1980s. Tom is the editor of Biota.org, The Artificial Life Project and host of the Biota Live internet radio program.
