An excellent (and IMO also stylish) website update. My only real worry is the relaxation of the definition of “The Singularity” so the term “will just refer to greater-than-human intelligence.” The IJ Good/SIAI conjecture on the advent of posthuman superintelligence, combining Moore’s law with the idea of recursively self-improving artificial minds, may—or may not—prove viable. But IMO it’s this restrictive definition that makes the Singularity into a well-defined and falsifiable hypothesis with strong empirical content. (cf. http://singularityhypothesis.blogspot.com.br/2012/06/table-of-contents.html ) By contrast, all sorts of people (of whom I’m one) can count as “singularitarians” if the definition is diluted so it also embraces the creation of genetically enhanced and computer-aided biological minds over an indefinite timescale.
