Australians Giordano Nanni and Hugo Farrant at The Juice Media travel into the pure world of sci-fi to investigate the much vaunted, mysterious potential future event known as 'The Singularity' in recent video.
What will a machine consciousness mean for humanity? What are the ethical, political, military and philosophical implications of strong A.I.? And what would an AI sound like when spitting rhymes over a dope beat?
These questions and more are addressed in the segment Rap News 28: The Singularity - featuring a special appearance from famed technocrat, futurist and inventor, Ray Kurzweil, in full TED talk mode; everyone's favorite warmonger, General Baxter; and the dauntless info warrior Alex Jones provides a non techno-optimist view.

I've predicted it, aligned statistics and the transition is evident:
we're accelerating towards AI, artificial intelligence
computers will soon pass the Turing Test with effortlessness,
attaining unprecedented levels of consciousness and sentience
and when it hits, it will be the end of savagery!
The video is as informative as it is amusing. Enjoy! The quip about Transcendence is great!
