Farideh:
New comic.
I like how the font in Roko's last speech bubble changed, you can almost hear the toneless drawl.
Who's Lois?

I think you've got it the wrong way around. The singularity is the start of the exponential growth, that's what defines it. The idea that the first AI capable of modifying itself would be the cause of it is the theoretical part of it. What the actual cause of it ends up being is up is anyone's guess, really.

My first thought was it was a Family Guy reference, since the comic bottom text sounds like something Peter would say right before a cutscene.

Perhaps that AI is aware of the potential for exponential growth along with the potential chaos that can ensue and has taken strps to mitigate that chaos? The US Congress all but admitted they didn't understand how the internet worked beyond email (and presumably p0rn) a year or two ago, and they've been causing all manner of issues with it alongside megacorps and other governing bodies (sideeyes the EU parliament for being the record industry's bitches instead of enacting 'safe harbor' laws). So if the AI is hyper intelligent, it would (hopefully) follow that it'd be aware of such failures.
