The right-wing politics of the 'Singularity' -- the sort of church only an engineer could invent

I am embarrassed to make such a minor, pedantic point in discussing a question as big as the Singularity, but--well, it's just that, quite simply, there is no evidence to support it. It is speculation informed by fiction. The Singularity is fantasy covered by a patina of rational thought, but. PowerPoint-informed imagination is not sufficient cause for physical existence. Belief in approaching AI, or even mildly human-like AI, requires considerable delusion.
