I read "The singularity is near" some time in the 2000s. I rarely participate in this sub because I find it overly optimistic. I think if the current development continues a technological singularity is likely to occur before 2040. But things may get very ugly in lots of ways well before then. A number of catastrophes are likely to happen before it, and the singularity itself could turn out of be a very bad thing for most of us.

To be honest, looking at a bunch of bad endings, a singularity one at least seems like the most interesting...
