Actually, I might prefer not to use the term 'Singularity' at all, precisely because it has picked up so many different meanings. If a name is needed for the event we're describing and we can't avoid that, use 'intelligence explosion'.
Seconded. One of the many modern connotations of 'Singularity' is 'Geek Apocalypse'.
Which is happening, like, a good couple of years afterwards.
Intelligence explosion does away with that, and seems to nail the concept much better anyway.
