Someone (4:25:07 PM): None of my friends are answering me.
Ebola (4:25:17 PM): why?
Someone (4:25:25 PM): idk... No one's around.
Someone (4:25:40 PM): But you're the closest I got to a human so can I vent to you? It'll stop the crying at least.
Ebola (4:25:50 PM): The physical bottom limit to how small computer transistors (or other equivalent, albeit more effective components, such as memristors integrated into Crossbar latches) can be shrunk is reached. From this moment onwards, computers can only be made more powerful if they are made larger in size.
Because of this, A.I.s convert more and more of the Earth's matter into engineered, computational substrate capable of supporting more A.I.s. until the whole Earth is one, gigantic computer.
At this point, the only possible way to increase the intelligence of the machines any farther is to begin converting all of the matter in the universe into similar massive computers. A.I.s radiate out into space in all directions from the Earth, breaking down whole planets, moons and meteoroids and reassembling them into giant computers. This, in effect, "wakes up" the universe as all the inanimate "dumb" matter (rocks, dust, gases, etc.) is converted into structured matter capable of supporting life (albeit synthetic life).
Ebola (4:25:59 PM): Kurzweil predicts that machines might have the ability to make planet-sized computers by 2099, which underscores how enormously technology will advance after the Singularity.
The process of "waking up" the universe could be complete as early as 2199, or might take billions of years depending on whether or not machines could figure out a way to circumvent the speed of light for the purposes of space travel.
With the entire universe made into a giant, highly efficient supercomputer, AI and human hybrids (so integrated that, in truth it is a new category of "life") would have both supreme intelligence and physical control over the universe. Kurzweil suggests that this would open up all sorts of new possibilities, including abrogation of the laws of Physics, interdimensional travel, and a possible infinite extension of existence (true immortality)
Someone (4:26:27 PM): Ebola, I'm crying. I DON'T CRY! Crying is weakness and I'm not weak but fuck, I'm crying and over a stupid gift.
Ebola (4:27:07 PM): was the gift a bomb?
Someone (4:27:09 PM): Today's my mom's birthday, okay? And my mom is like my best friend so whenever it comes around to time to buy her a gift for christmas or her birthday or mother's day, I always go way overboard and buy her these wicked nice things. Because she deserves them, you know?
Ebola (4:27:18 PM): i dunno, cut the blue wire
Ebola (4:27:43 PM): and?
Someone (4:27:49 PM): I bought this fancy vintage 1940's necklace that I thought she was gonna love TWO WEEKS AGO! I bought this awesome card, and I was so excited to give it to her because I thought she was gonna love it
Someone (4:28:14 PM): My brother and sister go out at like 9 last night, go to the first open store they can find and buy her a fucking coffee maker.
Someone (4:28:19 PM): And she keeps going on and on about the coffee maker.
Someone (4:28:42 PM): They didn't even wrap it! They didn't even bother with a card! I bought her a six-dollar fucking card that pops up and makes noise because she's worth it!
Ebola (4:28:52 PM): go make yourself some coffee maybe you'll feel better
Someone (4:28:58 PM): I HATE COFFEE!

Someone (4:29:55 PM): but she loves it!
Ebola (4:30:02 PM): kill it quicker><
Someone (4:30:08 PM): and I can tell, she keeps trying to convince me that she likes the necklace but she HATES it and I can tell that too!
