The safe route is to assume a slow rise in AI capability but no Singularity
for a long time - perhaps 60 years, more than 6.  If you can survive that
long, you'll have survived if the Singularity is a mere 6 years away.
("Surviving" can include "in cryonics" if necessary: something that
post-Singularity society - still bound by the laws of physics, and assuming
no time travel, "recreate those who are now ashes by studying quantum
remnants", or the like - could upload.)

Though, surviving 60 years does start with surviving the first 6.
