And I.J. Good before Vinge regarding the intelligence explosion.

  And all three (Good, Vinge, Kurzweil) views of the Singularity are different. This stuff is old: http://yudkowsky.net/singularity/schools/ http://yudkowsky.net/singularity/schools/ It's amazing that people want to lump in anyone associated with it, or just related moral ideas like "death really sucks, what's a general way to end it?" as cranks of the same sort. Or worse compare it to a religion (http://archive.fo/6oI0u http://archive.fo/6oI0u)

    Yudkowsky is another self-promoting hype machine, in the vein of Kurzweil. I wouldn't take him as the most unbiased source on the history of the singularity idea or how "his" ideas differ from the rest.
