Interesting. It’s cool to get the outside view, and to have these ideas spreading. This is the third piece of mainstream media to cover Singularity or Transhumanist issues I’ve seen this past month. One was a section on uploading in a piece on how our online personas remain available after we’re dead, and the other was posted here.
This piece struck me as more pessimistic than the others, but not unrealistically so. It also took the Singularity more seriously than the Carl Zimmer piece. So, progress.

Oops, you switched the parentheses and the brackets.
Drat. Fixed. Thanks for telling me!
