Prologue
[the following is meant to be handwritten]

(haven't quite figured out the addressee yet)
Since humankind began making technological advances, technology has been growing at an exponential rate. Major breakthroughs have been occurring at smaller time intervals; we've been increasing our dependancy on computers; we've been working to create more advanced artificial intelligence. Because of all these advances, and their rate of advance, it is therefore inevitable that one day A.I., indeed, all technology, will surpass human comprehension.

As much as I support scientific endeavors, as I mysalf am an avid researcher, I strongly caution going forward with a recently proposed project intended to further the boundaries of A.I. and test the limits of the experimental quantum computer. Several past scientists, both amature and seasoned, have warned against a phenomenon known as technological singularity. I don't consider myself an expert on the subject, in fact I barely understand its details, but from what I do understand I can say that with the way things have been progressing, if this project is allowed to go forward, I only see grave consequences for the well-being of the human race.

I realize that obscurity gives my words little weight, but I beg that you reconsider supporting this project.

I think I should explain the inspiration for this one. Lately I've been kind of interested/freaked out by the possibility of a robot apocalypse/takeover. You may laugh, but think about it: technology's advancing so quickly (exponentially, in fact) that it'll soon be beyond our comprehension. We're developing A.I. that'll be able to surpass our intelligence. The whole concept of technological singularity. The First Rule of Robots (not to be confused with the First Law of Robots [yes, the two are different]), which is a robot will always turn against you (same applies to chimps, apparently).

I must mention: because this is a draft there'll be blank spaces, there'll be omissions, there'll be changes. Comments are appreciated!
