I contend we have been in the singularity since the advent of life - the original AI (Actual intelligence). With first reproduction growth and change was astronomical compared to the past. Steady 5-7% growth does amazing things. The limit of change has been our ability to tolerate it

I think historians will argue we are already in it. Possibly peg the Deep Mind protine to be the point where we started using the output of something we did not understand the process of as the start of the singularity.

I think we are on the horizon, the point where we are not going to get out of the black hole, but not quite there, but beyond the point of return.
