Good article by Joi Ito that Wired might let you see. The main point is that "the notion of singularity – especially as some sort of saviour or judgment day that will allow us to transcend the messy, mortal suffering of our human existence – is fundamentally a flawed one." So "Instead of thinking about machine intelligence in terms of humans vs machines, we should consider the system that integrates humans and machines – not artificial intelligence but extended intelligence." I think this is a good point, though I would replace the use of the term "systems" (which implies directionality and a built-in goal) with "networks" - which function as ecosystems and tend toward equilibruim (if they tend toward anything at all).
