A singularity is a weather phenomenon likely to occur with reasonable regularity around a specific approximate calendar date, [1] outside of more general seasonal weather patterns (e.g., that May Day is usually warmer than New Year's Day in northern locales).

Digital twins are a simulated replica of reality. Reality in this sense might refer to a physical object like a wind turbine or building, a process like the assembly line for manufacturing a car, or a system like the financial system or climate. The idea is that by creating a software-based duplicate of the real thing, digital twins can provide an ...
3D interfaces are what give digital twins a distinctive video-game-like quality and why the press will often conflate their coverageof digital twins with the metaverse. One example, for anyone who’s been in a Tesla, is the dashboard visualization tool, in which the car shows a real-time, simulated version of itself in 3D. These 3D gaming environmen...
Even if a digital twin has flashy 3D visuals, it’s not useful unless it mirrors the system it’s simulating. To do that, it must include real-time data about what’s happening inside that system. Consider the new Hummer EV, which makes use of the Unreal game engineto give drivers a sense of what’s happening with the vehicle. The dashboard displays 3D...
With respect to digital twins broadly, AI is what turns them from a cool looking image into something interactive, useful, and predictive. A data-driven 3D image of a wind turbine, for example, isn’t as useful as one that can, say, tell a field operator that, due to a variety of reasons, there’s an 80 percent chance it will break down and need repa...
Kashinath said that what makes digital twins special is their interactivity. While we’ve had weather forecasts for decades, we’ve never had systems we can easily ask questions of (and quickly). “You can interact with the digital twin in ways that you simply cannot interact with a weather forecast. And it’s in real time,” he said. “That’s something ...

The technological singularity is a theoretical scenario where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, culminating in profound and unpredictable changes to human civilization. In theory, this phenomenon is driven by the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) that surpasses human cognitive capabilities and can ...
