Actually it's not surprising since the primary idea of the event was to move 
beyond the previous singularity event at Stanford a few years ago. This one, 
instead of just debating whether it will/can happen or not, we try to also ask 
what would the scope and consequences be, can it be guided, etc. Although many 
of the speakers think a singularity will happen/is possible, their takes on it 
are wildly varying.
