I must have been sleeping through all the other quotations of this. It’s the first time I noticed this was a part of the original text.
It was left off: http://singinst.org/summit/overview/whatisthesingularity/
It’s left off the wikipedia entry that references it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity
And this other random high Google hit: http://www.committedsardine.com/blogpost.cfm?blogID=1771
I guess one upshot is that I pulled up the original article to verify (and no the comment about Vernor Vinge was not in the original). Scholarship!
Is Luke paying attention, though? Good could not have been quoting Vinge!
