I think the alarms are both dramatic enough and are enough false alarms/alarmist that we dismiss them.

If anything it could bring about the 5th Industrial Revolution in ways that we haven’t seen before. And just as the 1st through ongoing-4th ones have been, we’ve gone along for the ride. As a species we are very, very adaptable and flexible. And singularity on its own - software, calculations, non-living incentives (most of our social malice stems from our biological mortality, which would have to be artificially programmed, and which would be weeded out by the majority of purely logical directives) - isn’t very much of a threat. It opens up far, far more progressive opportunities than threats. Far more than society’s collective creativity is even aware of yet - see how over in AI, all they’re doing is creating porn, psychedelic videos, and just generally weird or stupid concepts.

Even the scientific community is really only using it as a shortcut processing tool.

So yeah. Real life is often boring and I think that, realistically, we’re expecting relatively more of the same in that regard.
