So I was watching my daily Glenn Beck when I found this passionate video of his talking about a coming Singularity, uploaded 1/17/13.

Kurzweil, law of accelerating returns, exponential growth with that famous Chinese chess board example, the whole shebang.

Also doing powers of 2 like a baws.

Well, there's not much interest in the Singularity around LW. Did he say anything about an intelligence explosion?

He also had a chapter on it in a recent book, discussed here.
