I have a bumpersticker saying "In case of Singularity, this car will be AI controlled."

They proabally don't dig it because they will be obselete.

I don't think women are, in general, actively hostile to the singularity idea. It just that, given our technogeek babble way of describing it, many women just consider the singularity to be a "boys with toys" thing and consider it to be irrelevant.

Hell, I'm a (male) long-term computer geek, SF fan, and historical recreationist, and I don't dig the "singularity" either.
(Also, RU Sirius is still alive? I'd assumed that by now he'd fried his brain completely with random nootropics or something.
Then again, I remember when Boing Boing was a magazine...)
