I can agree with the singularity being a continuous transition in time and across people.

The future is becoming less predictable for all of us.

And the fraction of us that study, drive or otherwise understand the biggest changes at any given date are getting fewer.

But it is happening as an exponential toward a critical value. Not an S-shaped curve as there won't be any slowing down.

I see the top asymptotic part of the curve being an Iain Banksian “Culture”. Very very far off, but at a certain point, maybe Kardashev II-III, there will be a gradual plateau.
