We've already passed the technological singularity, we just don't realize it because we assume machine intelligence is going to act like human intelligence. Look around, computers have been more intelligent than humans in many different domains for decades. Computers can solve complex equations billions of times faster than humans, they can play chess better than people that have dedicated their entire lives to mastering the game, they can sift through the information of billions of websites in hundredths of a second, they can answer obscure and complex questions better than the best Jeopardy players, they can accurately model extremely complex systems like the world's weather, and the list goes on and on and on. But guess what, your calculator isn't plotting to kill you because unlike humans it hasn't been programmed to do that. There may come a time when someone is evil or careless enough to program these traits into a machine capable of acting on them, but this is a game humans (and life in general) have been playing for a very long time, and we're very good at it. Good luck programming a billion years of evolution based learning into your calculator.
