As long as the little bastards are relying on me not kicking my power cord out from under them, I'll sleep well at night. 
In all seriousness, I think the immediacy of the Singularity is greatly overplayed. If it happens, I probably won't be around to see it. And I expect to have many decades left on the blue marble.

I think I remember readings that one implication of this idea is that we can't know if it has already happened yet.
I think the idea was if machines can surpass human consciousness, then they can simulate it just like we create software simulations today. This means the singularity could have already happened and we're just ignorantly living life in the matrix.
