If "the singularity" is a real thing that can happen, it seems like there is an incentive for species that fear "the singularity" to preemptively wipe out any civilizations they find which seem close to achieving AGI
If "the singularity" is a real thing that can happen
The way you're talking about it, the only way to win is to become "the singularity" yourself.
However, as it's used in mathematics and in the context of exponential growth and accelerating change, it's not a real thing. In math, it's where the math breaks down. In this context, it just describes the point at which standard Homo sapiens can't predict or deal with the speed of change.
