Agreed. I realize it’s a metaphor but saying we’re so close to the singularity that it’s guaranteed to happen (the event horizon being a point of no return) seems like wild hubris.
Especially considering the global instability we're facing right now. The World Bank released new estimates US GDP growth in 2025, falling from roughly 2.5 to 1.5 percentage points. I don't think most people would predict the singularity beginning with less economic growth than we saw in the 80s
