Critical Discussion of Vinge's Singularity - Thirteen participants write essays on the Singularity; Vernor Vinge responds to each.
 
How long before superintelligence? - A scholarly analysis of the hardware and software required for superintelligence, and when it is likely to arrive.
 
KurzweilAI.net - Famed AI researcher Ray Kurzweil's vast megacomplex of Singularity-related material. Probably the largest Singularity resource on the Web, and certainly the one with the coolest website (including the famed "Ramona" spokesbot). Includes an excerpt from Kurzweil's forthcoming "The Singularity Is Near".
 
Long-Term Growth As A Sequence of Exponential Modes - Trend analysis: Fits the history of economic growth from 2 million B.C. to today as a sequence of growth modes, and suggests that in the next century a new mode may appear where the economy doubles every month or two.
 
Posthuman Sub-Page - From the Anders Transhuman Page; reviewed links to ultra-ultratechnologies such as uploads, Jupiter brains, borganisms, and more. Mondo future shock.
 
Signs of the Singularity - A newsletter run by SingularityWatch. Tracks Singularity-related news and tech/science tidbits.
 
Singularitarian mailing list - A mailing list for people interested in implementing the Singularity. Restricted membership.
 
Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence, Inc. - A tax-exempt nonprofit specifically devoted to the design and development of self-understanding, self-modifying, and recursively self-improving Artificial Intelligence. Explicitly devoted to implementing the Singularity.
 
Singularity Sub-Page - From the Anders Transhuman Page; reviewed links to Singularity pages.
 
Singularity Watch - "A 'Singularity Watcher' is neither absolutely convinced -- nor uncritically happy -- that the Singularity is going to happen, but they do believe this issue deserves serious scientific investigation." Runs mailing lists, an L.A.-based reading group, and is trying to organize a conference.
 
Staring into the Singularity - "If computing speeds double every two years, what happens when computer-based AIs are doing the research?" Powers, Transcendence, and the ultimate unknowability of dealing with something that's smarter than you are. Post-post-posthumanity; the ultimate high for future shock addicts.
 
Surviving the Singularity - Steve Alan Edwards interviews five transhumanists on the Singularity. Touches on a broad cross-section of the issues.
 
The Singularitarian Principles - The principles which define and describe the Singularitarians, partisans and advocates of the Singularity.
 
Vernor Vinge on the Singularity - The 1993 NASA lecture by Vernor Vinge, inventor of the Singularity. "Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended."
 
When will computer hardware match the human brain? - A very detailed analysis of the computing power of human neurology, progress in AI as a function of available hardware, and the computing power required to simulate human performance in subdomains such as chess or visual processing.
