Do you think "The Singularity" is a useful concept, or would it be better to discuss the constituent issues separately?

Yes it is useful. I define the singularity as a threshold of time at which machine intelligence or increases in human intelligence radically transform society. As similar incentives and technologies are pushing us towards this, it's useful to lump them together with a single term.
