Just a point that should be made in any discussion about the "Singularity": Kurzweil's isn't the only model/definition[1] of the Singularity, and some high-profile Singularitarians don't have a high opinion of Kurzweil[2] ("I've come to the conclusion that Kurzweil's worldview prohibits Kurzweil from arriving at any real understanding of the basic nature of the Singularity"). > I think it's much more valid to call the "singularity" the point in time [...] Isn't this just redefining the word "singularity", and so making the discussion about something entirely different? So it might be better to qualify that with "industrial singularity" and the one under consideration here is the "technological singularity".
