Why it just something which made it easier to "alieve" (in contrast to just believing) in a singularity, or do you think this information was good evidence for updating towards that a singularity is more likely? (eg because it shows that billionaires might invest in such crazy projects)

I don't think it changed my beliefs about the probability of a Singularity, only my aliefs about whether "science fiction-like" events could happen.
