Time Magazine has an article about the Singularity...

This was almost too positive. There are worthwhile objections to Kurzweil's version of the Singularity, but this article mainly pointed out some of the sillier objections (e.g. maybe a computer could never be Truly Intelligent, it sounds kinda like the rapture, etc.). Still, it was good to see a mention of SIAI and Friendly AI in a serious, positive article in a mainstream publication. (Too bad about the cover, though I guess they couldn't pass up the prophecy-of-immortality angle.)

Wow! I am somewhat shocked that the Singularity has gone mainstream enough to make the cover of Times, and get a largely positive treatment at that.

Very good overall. The biggest problem is "Indefinite life extension becomes a reality; people die only if they choose to. Death loses its sting once and for all. Kurzweil hopes to bring his dead father back to life." The prediction that is both least likely and most shocking is introduced without any explanation of how it could be done or how likely Kurzweil thinks it is.

The writer seems unaware of the right-hand turn.

Time interviewed Ray Kurzweil a while ago for 10 Questions, although this is their first actual article that I've read on the subject.

I'm pretty surprised that they mentioned 'Non-Kurzweilians' and then failed to tell how their views differed. The Kurzweilian singularity does seem to be the one that would be the most interesting to the general public, however.

Here is a video on the topic by the Time magazine: When Robots Attack! Should We Fear a Singularity?

I'm glad to see this too, but:

while the Singularity appears to be, on the face of it, preposterous, it's an idea that rewards sober, careful evaluation

I think the writer said "reward" when they meant "deserve", athough I suppose its proponents would claim "reward" works too :-P
