We need to stop measuring the intelligence of computers by how many calculations per second they do. Right now we can put together computing systems that can do the amount of calculation under discussion, but fairly slowly. So what if it takes 10x as long to get a thought out? It's all in the program, and no one has the slightest clue how to program thought for now. I'm also skeptical that the singularity will really move all that fast -- how do we know how much time it will take for each 1% of improvement? Just because a computer is capable of self-improvement doesn't mean that it will be fast self-improvement. I'd imagine that while the computer is better at each step, each step is also harder.
