I really like this post! My intuition about the proximate future is the same, and this captures it really well.
My intuition goes a little further. Once AI is making AI, I think there will be a period where it feels like everything is crazy, new tech is developed really fast, powerful humans who can keep up with it are able to make enormous power grabs. Then after a few months or weeks there will be one day that the world explodes, all humans die or get uploaded, and everything is completely different.
(I guess this is to say that the singularity feels in the genre of reality to me.)
