Stross's views are simply crazy. See his “21st Century FAQ” and others' critiques of it.

I do wonder why Ray Kurzweil isn't more concerned about the risk of a bad Singularity. I'm guessing he must have heard SIAI's claims, since he co-founded the Singularity Summit along with SIAI. Has anyone put the question to him?
