81. "The Cookie Monster" By Vernor Vinge The Cookie Monster, vernor vinge. Man is the timebinding animal. But in the future, that simple statement may take on meanings that Korzybski never imagined. http://www.analogsf.com/0406/cookiemonster.shtml

Analog is now available in electronic formats at Analog and Asimov's collections are now available at AUDIBLE.COM Key Word Search: Analog Science Fiction The Cookie Monster Vernor Vinge Man is "the time-binding animal." But in the future, that simple statement may take on meanings that Korzybski never imagined. . . . "So how do you like the new job?" Dixie Mae looked up from her keyboard and spotted a pimply face peering at her from over the cubicle partition. "It beats flipping burgers, Victor," she said. Victor bounced up so his whole face was visible. "Yeah? It’s going to get old awfully fast." Actually, Dixie Mae felt the same way. But doing customer support at Lotsa-Tech was a real job, a foot in the door at the biggest high-tech company in the world. "Gimme a break, Victor! This is our first day." Well, it was the first day not counting the six days of product familiarization classes. "If you can’t take this, you’ve got the attention span of a cricket." "That’s a mark of intelligence, Dixie Mae. I’m smart enough to know what’s not worth the attention of a first-rate creative mind."

Vernor Vinge * 1944 SF Autor; Wissenschaftler (pensioniert) Department of Mathematical Sciences, San Diego State University; verheiratet mit der SF Autorin Joan D. Vinge "Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended." "The Coming Technological Singularity" "It seems plausible that if computer hardware continues to improve, in the near historical future we could create computer systems that have the processing power of the human brain. If we could also solve the much harder problem of organizing that processing power to behave like a person, then we would have a machine equivalent of the human brain. By itself, this would not be beyond imagining, since we already can make human-equivalent brains, namely by childbirth." Interview mit Loren Means, YLEM Journal Vernor Vinge

The original version of this article was presented at the VISION-21 Symposium sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center and the Ohio Aerospace Institute, March 30-31, 1993. A slightly changed version appeared in the Winter 1993 issue of Whole Earth Review 1. What Is The Singularity? The acceleration of technological progress has been the central feature of this century. We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater-than-human intelligence. Science may achieve this breakthrough by several means (and this is another reason for having confidence that the event will occur): Computers that are "awake" and superhumanly intelligent may be developed. (To date, there has been much controversy as to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is "yes," then there is little doubt that more intelligent beings can be constructed shortly thereafter.) Large computer networks and their associated users may "wake up" as superhumanly intelligent entities.

The original version of this article was presented at the VISION-21 Symposium sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center and the Ohio Aerospace Institute, March 30-31, 1993. A slightly changed version appeared in the Winter 1993 issue of Whole Earth Review Abstract Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended. Is such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can events be guided so that we may survive? These questions are investigated. Some possible answers (and some further dangers) are presented. What is The Singularity? The acceleration of technological progress has been the central feature of this century. I argue in this paper that we are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater than human intelligence. There are several means by which science may achieve this breakthrough (and this is another reason for having confidence that the event will occur): There may be developed computers that are "awake" and superhumanly intelligent. (To date, there has been much controversy as to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is "yes, we can", then there is little doubt that beings more intelligent can be constructed shortly thereafter.)

Writer Guest of Honor Vernor Vinge by Howard Davidson Vernor Vinge has been writing science fiction for many years. He is a member of that small minority of science fiction writers who come to the field through the sciences. In the rest of his life, he is a professor in the Mathematical Sciences Department at UCSD, where he teaches and does research in computer science. He has been interested in the question of how extremely intelligent systems interact with the universe, and the consequences of exponentially growing knowledge. His early books, including Witling and Tatja Grimm's World , dealt with exceptional individuals. Later books, such as The Peace War and Marooned in Realtime , deal with the combination of extreme intelligence and exploding knowledge. This theme was carried forward and extended to include the intra-galactic net and a wonderful group mind culture in the 1993 Hugo-Award-winning novel A Fire Upon the Deep A bibliography of Vernor Vinge is available in the Lysator archive in Sweden. Another bibliography of Vernor Vinge is available in the SF-Lovers author bibliographies Read about Fan Guest of Honor Elayne Pelz Read about Artist Guest of Honor John R. Foster

A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge Forthcoming in hardcover, February 1999, from Tor Books Prologue The manhunt extended across more than one hundred lightyears and eight centuries. It had always been a secret search, unacknowledged even between some of the participants. In the early years, it had simply been encrypted queries hidden in radio broadcasts. Decades and centuries passed. There were clues, interviews with The Man's fellow-travelers, pointers in a half-dozen contradictory directions: The Man was alone now and heading still further away; The Man had died before the search ever began; The Man had a war fleet and was coming back upon them. With time, there was some consistency to the most credible stories. The evidence was solid enough that certain ships changed schedules and burned decades of time to look for more clues. Fortunes were lost because of the detours and delays, but the losses were to a few of the largest trading Families, and unacknowledged. They were rich enough and this search was important enough, that it scarcely mattered. For the search was narrowed: The Man was traveling alone, a vague blur of multiple identities, a chain of one-shot jobs on minor trading vessels, but always moving back and back into this end of Human Space. The hunt narrowed from a hundred lightyears, to fifty, to twenty and a half dozen star systems. And finally, the manhunt came down to a single world at the coreward end of Human Space. Now Sammy could justify a fleet specially for the end of the hunt. The crew and even most of the owners would not know the mission's true purpose, but he had a good chance of finally ending the search.
