"To appreciate the nature and significance of the coming [technological]
"singularity," it is important to ponder the nature of exponential growth."

And later (SPOILER warning)...

"it is only a matter of a few centuries before its intelligence saturates
the matter and energy in its vicinity, and it begins to expand outward at
the speed of light or greater. It will then overcome gravity (through
exquisite and vast technology) and other cosmological forces (or, to be
fully accurate, will maneuver and control these forces) and create the
Universe it wants. This is the goal of the Singularity."
