There are three factors suggesting the safety of an upload-initiated singularity. First, uploads always run as fast as the available computing substrate. It is less likely for an upload to accidentally stumble upon (rather than design) AI, because computers never get subjectively faster. Second, there is hope of controlling the nature of uploads; if rational, intelligent uploads can be responsible for most upload output, then we should expect the probability of a friendly singularity to be correspondingly higher.
