<http://www.nickbostrom.com/papers/future.pdf>raises the economic
argument on page 24 of 29: traditional economic growth
models give single-digit economic growth forever, therefore there will never
be a singularity. Robin Hanson has applied economic models as well, so maybe
this is widespread enough an objection to be listed. I may be phrasing this
objection poorly since I don't consider it coherent.
