>AI is not even a necessary component.

For one, we are talking directly relating to AI. Even without AI, it means a technology that is so transforming that we haven't yet anticipated its impact (something like femtotech?). That could also arguably be some kind of medical break through that changes our entire perspective on life, say total immortality or something. Doesn't matter it's irrelevant to the discussion.

Second, the only definition is in direct comparison to the term used in physics, by which you aren't "inside" of a singularity the moment you cross the even horizon. I'm not trying to be overly direct or rude here, but you can't just use examples from physics to describe this and expect it to make sense when you've misused the terms.

From your original comment:

>My personal definition of a technological singularity is a point in time when we're experiencing so many black swan events that the future becomes impossible to predict at shorter and shorter timescales

Your thought process behind increasing occurrences of black swan events is perfectly acceptable as passing the event horizon. I like that reference, I've used it before. But crossing an event horizon does not equal being inside of a singularity. The technological singularity is a blip in time, not something you sit around in and chill for a while like we currently are in the "space between singularity and event horizon."

Anyway, that's about enough from me on the subject. I hope I didn't come off as rude or anything.
