> nooo, please!! not any more of this kurzweil crap.

Ray Kurzweil has little to do with this. When he talks about "singularity", he thinks about "accelerating change", with exponential growth everywhere, even beyond human intelligence scales.

Those who work on Friendly AI have another scenario: "intelligence explosion". Typically a self-improving AI that would grow itself into a super intelligence. You should read this introduction on the subject: http://intelligenceexplosion.com/

Indeed. In Asimov's stories, the robots mostly behave, though in every story there is some problem with the way the laws of robotics apply.

In the real world, the laws of robotics don't work, and we would at best be put "safe" into cushioned rooms so we can't hurt ourselves. As for emotional hurt, drugs and lobotomy are extremely efficient remedies.
