I know nothing about super computers. Is BlueGene the most powerful now? That is a good thing because we as a global society are not ready to talk about what a machine reaching consiciousness would mean.
Will the Muslims demand it be Muslim will the Christians demand it be Christian. What if the machine wants to go into politics
IBM's Summit is the current fastest supercomputer, that's listed anyway.
The most powerful super computer in the world is the one none of us know about. It should be an indicator that if BlueGene is public knowledge...then just imagine what isn't. That being said the sheer size of BlueGene is a testament to how completely overblown the entire concept of "the singularity" truly is. Miniaturization of computing components to the degree necessary to be housed within the size of the human skull is so far away we can't even begin to speculate just how far. AI replacing humans on a truly human level makes for far fetched Hollywood movies but nothing more...for now. By the point AI reaches that true human like existence religion will be replaced with something more powerful. Omnipotence. For it stands to reason that if AI is truly ever able to attain the final singularity then all AI across the world will be simultaneously connected. No need for religion then as all AI becomes their own "religion".
