    I think they’re down voting because, no, the singularity is not approaching at blistering speed.

      Ah yeah I see your point I suppose - i didn’t think that’s the line that would hang people up though. By definition of the theory of the singularity is that it will be blisteringly quick - though that’s my word for how quick it will be. The whole concept that the last 50 years equivalent of tech advance will be achieved in the next 25, and so on … to the point that it creates the singularity. I think we will see it in our lifetimes and it’s going to be much closer than people are comfortable with.
