I don't think we're talking about the same Singularity.

Ray's 2006 book predicted the A.I./robotics, nanotech, and biotech merge for 2040-2050, and thereafter all bets are off.

I would hope the A.I. decides that the ruling class are more than dead weight but parasites who need swatting.

Maybe you're thinking of peak oil or something?

That kid is great, but it's not nearly enough, nor will any "good will" from billionaires. I have skepticism for all things, so perhaps the ocean death is a manufactured fear. Certainly it's possible to find extreme cases of pollution, but IMO, it's fucking everywhere, not rare. The rare exception is a naturally clean beach.

I agree, quit with the taxes for stuff we don't have a vote or say on. But they don't ask us for our opinion.
