For me 'the singularity' has 3 parts: 1. we give control to algorithmic systems 2. we can't reason about how specific choices are made 3. algorithmic systems beget algorithmic systems We've done 1 and 2, though we're trying to reverse 2 with comprehensible machine learning systems. I don't hope for much--any system of high value should be too complex to be able to explain itself so a person can understand it in any meaningfully accurate way. Seems like it would be a hand-wavy explanation so we can feel better but not really actionable. We're working on 3 but not there yet.
