T-Rex's birthday is tomorrow which happens to be MY birthday as well! Unlike T-Rex, however, I am not all emo about aging AND also unlike T-Rex, I have discovered a way to live forever: I will give you a hint, it involves liquid nitrogen and the boundless expanse of interstellar space and also entropy reversing somehow
From the Dinosaur Comics news post for 2010 October 19.
As a part of public relations, I think it's important to keep tabs on how the Singularity and related topics (GAI, FAI, life-extension, etc.) are presented in the culture at large. I've posted links to such things in the past, but I think there should be a central clearinghouse, and a discussion-level post seems like the right place.
So: in the comments, post examples of references to Singularity-related topics that you've found, ideally with a link and a few sentences' description of what the connection is and how it's presented (whether seriously or as an object of ridicule, for instance).
There should probably be a similar post for rationality references, but let's see how this one goes first.
