David, the concept behind the term Singularity refers to our inability to predict what happens on the other side.
However, you don’t even have to hold with the theory of a technological Singularity to appreciate the idea that an intelligence even slightly higher than our own (not to mention orders of magnitudes faster, and certainly not to mention self-optimizing) would probably be able to do things we can’t imagine. Is it worth taking the risk?
