In its '1984' commercial, Apple suggested that its computers would smash big brother. But technology gave him more control. By Theodore Roszak, author of The Making of a Counter Culture. Tuesday, January 27, 2004 By sci-fi writer Charlie Stross: Note that I am not using the term "panopticon singularity" in the same sense as Vinge's Singularity (which describes the emergence of strongly superhuman intelligence through either artificial intelligence breakthroughs or progress in augmenting human intelligence), but in a new sense: the emergence of a situation in which human behaviour is deterministically governed by processes outside human control. (To give an example: currently it is illegal to smoke cannabis, but many people do so. After a panopticon singularity, it will not only be illegal but impossible.) The development of a panopticon singularity does not preclude the development of a Vingean singularity; indeed, one may potentiate (or suppress) the other. I would also like to note that the idea has been discussed in fictional form by Vinge.Originally written for the final (and unpublished) issue of the Whole Earth Review.
