You know, Robb, I just love how everything you post is so well-researched and full of awesome!

Yeah, the singularity is a very weird thing. Truth is, if it does happen, we have pretty much no way to predict what would come next, so we'll just have to wait and see. Or we could invent time travel and go the Terminator route, telling our past selves or ancestors how things will go down.

Of course, suppose an incredibly lifelike robot is created that fools people into thinking it's human and telling them the singularity is a time of peace and prosperity when it actually spells doom for mankind and the beginning of robotic dominion? I dunno, am I just babbling here?

Even if Japan falls behind on the robotics front, there's no reason to say the US will immediately shoot to the forefront. Thing is, the US doesn't have to be at the top in everything. That's a cliché almost as old as the "humans are supreme in the universe" one. Of course, I think we've already had that discussion. And yes, I think I am babbling.
