> why do you think it's outdated?

I don't know if 'outdated' is the right word. Maybe just not that useful, except as mind-candy?

It is mostly a computationally-focused reformulation of the Rapture.

Yeah, this covers it for me. Maybe outdated isn't wrong so much as nothing more than a fun intellectual exercise and what if - there's no road map, there's no solid technological basis for reaching a singularity, imo there's not much theory to it outside speculation and some fairly specious projections.
