The Singularity is a hypothetical future event where technology growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, leading to unpredictable transformations in our reality^1^. It's often associated with the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, potentially causing radical changes in society. I'd like to know your thoughts on what the Singularity's endgame will be: Utopia, Dystopia, Collapse, or Extinction, and why?

There will not be a singularity. Global capitalism will absolutely collapse and on its way will become more dystopian. Humanity isn’t going extinct.

E: the cause of this process is not human nature. Anyone who tells you it is has simply failed to study history. We can have a utopia but global capital has to collapse first to make space for it.
