The times we live in are riddled with problems but I have to continue on with my life regardless.

I've been waiting for an AI that can usher us into the technological singularity, and I think we're finally on the cusp of evolution and immortality.

I keep hearing about the singularity, I've read up on it, but I still don't get it. What is it/does it do?

TL;DR: It's an expansion on Moore's law that theorizes science, especially AI, will continue to advance itself in a exponential feedback loop. It's also been called The Law of Accelerating Returns, by Ray Kurzweil. His estimate was sentient AI by mid 2020's and singularity around mid 2040's.
