Ben Goertzel: Is Google Secretly Creating an AGI? (Reasons Why I Doubt It)
"The culture and mentality needed to create AGI seems to be different from the one needed to rapidly create a large and massively profitable company. My prediction is that if Google ever does get an AGI, they will buy it rather than build it."

What Smartness Means (Michael Anissimov)
If the smartest human we can throw at the problem is just about as good as anyone else, then we project the quality of hardness onto the problem - not onto the abstract recognition that “human intelligence isn’t good enough”.

Shaping the Future (Charles Stross)
Meet your descendants. They don't know what it's like to be involuntarily lost, don't understand what we mean by the word "privacy", and will have access to a historical representation of our species that defies understanding.

The Coming Technological Singularity (Vernor Vinge, 1993)
"Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended. Is such progress avoidable? If not to be avoided, can events be guided so that we may survive?"

The Singularity (by Lyle Burkhead)
'There isn't going to be an "intelligence explosion," as conceived by Vernor Vinge, but there could still be an event beyond which human affairs as we know them could not continue. Such an event could come from the advent of artificial life.'

Artificial intelligence within our lifetime? No idle speculation
Attempts to argue that there are several ways by which artificial intelligence may be developed in the near future, and that the probability of this happening is high enough that the possibility needs to be considered when making plans for the future.

Our descendants may develop means to venture far from the comfortable realms we consider reality, into arbitrarily strange volumes of the all-possible library. Perhaps we can stretch our imaginations enough to peer a short distance into this territory.

Ten Years to a Positive Singularity - If we Really, Really Try (Ben Goertzel)
"Why ten years? It’s a nice round number. Just like most of you, I have ten fingers on my hands. I could have said eight or thirteen instead. But I think ten years – or something in this order of magnitude – could really be achievable."
