description: Quote from footnote 1:This paper was published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies 17:7-65 2010. I first became interested in thiscluster of ideas as a student before first hearing explicitly of the singularity in 1997. I was spurred to think further about these issues by an invitation to speak at the 2009 Singularity Summit in New York City. I thank many people at that event for discussion as well as many at later talks and discussions at West Point CUNY NYU Delhi ANUTucson Oxford and UNSW. Thanks also to Doug Hofstadter Marcus Hutter Ole Koksvik Drew McDermott CarlShulman and Michael Vassar for comments on this paper.
