Perhaps you've been through this - but I'd like to know people's ideas
about what exact physical form a Singulitarian or near-Singul. AGI
will take. And I'd like to know people's automatic associations even

conjure up in your mind, regardless of whether you're sure about it or
not, or it's sensible?
The obvious alternatives, it seems to me, (but please comment), are
either pace the movie 2001, a desk-bound supercomputer like Hal, with
perhaps extended sensors all over the place, even around the world -
although that supercomputer, I guess, could presumably occupy an ever
smaller space as miniaturisation improves.
Or some robot - or society of robots - that moves around the world.
Are there any other major categories of alternatives?
How about a cloud of shifting nano-compute engines and data storage
units freely forming and reforming at various densities as needed for
the tasks at hand?
