The singularity is already here. There are black holes in our universe. This submission title really annoys me.

  Even if you are trolling, I think I'll leave this here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

    I'm not trolling, I've read Keurzweil's book... It's extrapolating. If I was a risk assesor, I'd err on the side of a mass extinction event over us consuming the entire universe as data.

      There's already been 4 extinction events, it's pretty safe to bet that it will happen again. But they happen 50-100 million years between each other and usually take thousands of years to take full effect once they begin. Even if technological singularity takes an extra 100-200 years to really happen, if any significant 'AI' is achieved, a lot could happen in a thousand years, let alone a million.

        For what it's worth, your ability to post that is based on that they were actually near-extinction events.
