H.S. Crow
“Ones and Zeroes shaped us; with adversity, we stand in Singularity.”
H.S. Crow

Vernor Vinge
“Progress in hardware has followed an amazingly steady curve in the last few decades. Based on this trend, I believe that the creation of greater-than-human intelligence will occur during the next thirty years. (Charles Platt has pointed out that AI enthusiasts have been making claims like this for thirty years. Just so I'm not guilty of a relative-time ambiguity, let me be more specific: I'll be surprised if this event occurs before 2005 or after 2030.)”
Vernor Vinge, The coming technological singularity: How to survive in the post-human era
