There are also many things someone might have in mind when they refer to a 'technological Singularity' (Sandberg 2010). Below, we’ll explain just three of them (Yudkowsky 2007):

Are there really more than those? Significantly more? I personally don't think I've come across any others, and your wording makes it sound like you have several readily at hand.
