Actually checked, surprisingly I didn't see anything standing out for singularity or AGI

Hmm interesting; thanks for checking! Maybe it’s just me then on another manic rabbit hole “research” binge haha … I feel lately that I can’t even seem to get ~enough~ solid info on Singularity because the google results are all either too basic, or too nuanced w/ very little middle-ground. Do you have any simple suggestions for me on which keywords/resources to use? (For reference: i’m nonverbally challenged so anything with complex formulas & mathematical jargon confuses me)

You might want to check out a book like Superintelligence by Nick Bostrom, it could fill in a lot of the blanks for you. But its more about paths to the singularity than the singularity itself. The problem is we don't really know what is going to happen when we reach very rapid technological progress. That's why there is so much speculation and not any actual knowledge of what will happen.
