The important question might well be: "What can we do to prepare to
survive the interim period (assuming anyone can), in the next 6
months to 6 years?" Beyond 6 years, I reckon it's completely
pointless to speculate.<br>

Adrian was right to say the singularity won't be tomorrow. It might
be the day after, though.</div></blockquote></div></div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">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.
