Russia Warns Of Catastrophic 21 December 2012 “Event Horizon”

A startling report prepared by the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) states that evidenced uncovered by France’s
General Directorate for External Security (DGSE), during their investigation
into the hacking of former President Nicolas Sarkozy’s computers by the United
States and Israel, is revealing that our world is about to experience a “technological
singularity,” which is seen as an intellectual “event horizon,” beyond which events cannot be predicted or understood.

According to this report, the DGSE began investigating a series
of attacks on the computers belonging to several close advisers to Sarkozy
earlier this year, and which French intelligence officials linked to US-Israeli
spy software said to have been created to target Iran’s nuclear program. Yesterday,
however, the US Embassy in Paris took the
unusual step of flatly denying
this DGSE report that Washington
was responsible.

This SVR report supports the US denial of this attack, in a most unexpected
way, by stating that evidence it has uncovered points to this event being directed,
not by any individual, but by a computer system acting on its own.

And not just any computer system, this report says, but a supercomputer
under the control of IBM Research who uses this massive system in collaboration
with the United States Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Systems of Neuromorphic Adaptive
Plastic Scalable Electronics (SyNAPSE)
programme, and which recently
announced it had reached another brain simulation milestone.

IBM and DARPA researchers took a dramatic departure from the conventional von Neumann
computer architecture, last year, which links internal memory and a
processor with a single data channel. This structure allows for data to be
transmitted at high, but limited rates, and isn’t especially power efficient —
especially for more sophisticated, scaled-up systems. Instead, they integrated
memory directly within its processors, wedding hardware with software in a
design that more closely resembles the brain’s cognitive structure

The brain simulation milestone announced by IBM and DARPA this past week
stated that their SyNAPSE system was now capable of crafting 2.084 billion
neurosynaptic cores and 100 trillion synapses. This compares against a human
brain’s 86
billion neurons and estimated 100 trillion synapses.

This SVR report states that the significance of this milestone lies in this
systems ability to “dramatically”
reduce the power needed for creating neurosynaptic cores and synaptic
connections.

Where the world’s most powerful supercomputer, the K
from Fujitsu, is capable of holding 30 quadrillion bytes, as compared to
the human brains 3.5 quadrillion, it can only do so using 9.9 million watts of
power (enough to power 10,000 homes, as compared to the brain using only 20
watts.
