Ja, that is how we are using the term too.  All bets are off, we have no
models that can reliably predict what happens when artificial intelligence
somehow develops a will of its own.

Regarding the astronomy use of the term, it is fun to think about.  Under
sufficient pressure, gravity overpowers everything and electrons are pushed
into the protons, which form neutrons, kerBOOM, supernova, result, huge ball
of neutrons.  COOL!  But... what if that neutron star is so big, it crushes
the neutrons?  What do neutrons crush into?  We don't know.  Our equations
fail us.  It's all a big virtual reality, I tells ye.  Wicked, evil it is.
The devil invented the whole system.  Rage against it.
