Correction

Thanks to the good ears of Bob Mottram;

Bob Mottram

On the 2012 thing from Biota Live #7 I believe you might have made a mixup. Searching around on the net there does appear to be some kind of numerological cult based upon the 2012 date, but this doesn't seem to have any connection to the singularity institute for artificial intelligence or Ray Kurzweil's predictions. Kurzweil actually predicts a technological singularity (based upon the idea originating from sci-fi author Vernor Vinge) somewhere around the mid 2040s.

Tom Barbalet

You are right. There is a popular confusion because of the shared use of the term Singularity. I'll add the correction next show and attribute it to your email. This did occur to me listening to the audio after it went up. The nature of live (internet) radio!
