> It's not our job to show why the Singularity won't happen

No, but shallow dismissal of a subject that many intelligent technologists have spent their life considering just comes off as arrogant.

Predicting technological timelines is a largely pointless exercise, but I wouldn't be hard pressed to imagine a future N decades or centuries from now in which, assuming we do not destroy ourselves, human affairs become overshadowed by machine intelligence or technological complexity, and an increasingly complex technosocial system becomes increasingly difficult to predict until some limit of understanding is crossed.
