Similiar to my views. The penetration of the kurzweilian interpretation of "singularity" into the mainstream will it make difficult for serious thinking people to digg deeper. And for what purpose!? Scientist will do their science, AI people will build AI, Intel will build chips... Nothing will be stopped by not talking about a technological singularity...
