The fact that the owner of a self-teaching chess computer program has described the learning process of the algorithms as being alien is indicative of the intellectual framework associated with the thesis of a coming singularity. The possibility of fusing human thought and digital algorithms that are in some way implanted in the human brain is science fiction. It is now being taken seriously by some futurologists.
