the whole premise of a singularity is that we will hit a point of exponential technological growth, extrapolated from the accelerating pace of technological development over human history and usually based on the idea that we'll make a self-iterating AI which will lead to runaway intelligence. The "singularity" specifically is intended as a tipping-point where the acceleration of technology becomes faster than human capability (i.e. the approaching-vertical line on an exponential curve).

Yep, this is why the singularity is a zero-sum game... I expect many entities to vie for the title, but the first one there will subsequently dominate... which is why it's my intention to program my conciousness into my own AI which seeks to become the singularity and therefor my digial conciousness version will become the ultimate god of the universe.
