You see "the Singularity" (and that's obviously a loaded term) as inevitable.
For clarity, what do you see as the most salient features of the Singularity?
Or maybe a better way to ask that question is, how will we know it's arrived? What will be the extant conditions that one could point to and say - "Ah. Here we are."
(Of course, I'm presuming that it doesn't come with a loud boom or announcement, but I must concede that I could be wrong about that. e.g. Lots of people didn't believe nukes were possible before the first one went off, either. And that's probably true of most military technology, from the catapult, trebuchet, to the 8" howitzer, from the balloon to the Corsair to the F35 to drones).

Fascinating.
It is more a condition that enables us to point to it and say,
"Ah. There we were."
Wondered where you were.
We've been extraordinarily busy... 😎
I get the feeling someone that wrote this jerked off to Robocop as a child.
