The OP is one of the funniest takes on the subject I've ever read -- funny because a lot of it rings true. Perhaps the funniest part is the section that compares true believers in the AI singularity to a cult, headlined by this photo of three prominent believers, which always makes me laugh out loud: https://static.pinboard.in/si/si.050.jpg . The linked PBF cartoons are pretty funny too, given the context: http://pbfcomics.com/115/ , http://pbfcomics.com/154/ .

Whether you agree or not with the OP's views, I highly recommend you read the whole thing and click on all the links!
