Organic bodies are fatally flawed. We are imprisoned in them, what if we could free our minds into a new better reality by blending with technology.

It is a very similar concept to unicorns, dragons and your gf. Literally can't exist.

It's the religion for people who hate religion.

Where theories fail and the story telling begins..
Asher Robinson
That automated systems that collect massive amounts of data, and processes them, will represent an amount of production exceeding that of all of humanity.
The future is divided between, to paraphrase, autists who know how to code and build general-purpose machinery able to create specialized machinery and between the rest of the population.
Jayden Russell
From your picture I assume you mean the Technological Singularity? It's based on the observation that computer processing power increases exponentially (Moore's Law) and projects to a time in the near future when computers will be so powerful they can simulate human minds. At this point, they would become superhuman very quickly, which may be the dawn of a new golden age or may be the doom of humanity.

The AI singularity is reached when an artificial mind becomes capable enough to independently develop another artificial mind that works better than itself. As such, that better mind will be able to develop an even better one, and so on. This represents a massive and possibly uncontrollable acceleration in the advancement of research and technology by machines that can perform their own research, develop new technology based on that research, and build better researchers to further accelerate the process.

OK I imagine it like this:
The goal or consequence of every grwoing system, be it alive or not is to accumulate more matter to order it into it's system.
humans are no different but we lack the ability to completely re-order matter because our growing depends more on maxims like the-more-the-better or spray-and-pray instead of precise and defined steps to overall growth. Growth meaning not just rise of quantity but of quality as well.
Machines can do better in every way and are far more flexible regarding their lifecycles. This is what ultimately will enable machines to be able to harvest every kind of energy and store it in every possible state. The ordering system will not be arbitrary. Imagine a warehouse where all elements of the periodic table are stored seperately to be recombined to any kind of molecule possible.
The gathering, decomposing and storing of matter will have not have an end until every possible energy exchange process is on it's lowest possible energy cost. Meaning for example, where before complex robots have harvested asteroids, now a huge quantity of organized mini-organisms (their structure almost as simple as a molecule itself) are harvesting for resources.
In the end there will be no unordered matter left, which means every piece of matter will be connected. So when there is going to happen an impulse somewhere in this network, the chain reaction will reach every single particle and will make the whole system collapse.
reaching this total network is singularity for me and the collapsing will produce a big bang.
and the cycle begins anew.

worse than that! "Singularity" was coined by an SF author in reference to the event horizon of a black hole, beyond which you can't see. The tech singularity was a postulated point in future history where things are changing so fast, that you can't predict a plausible future... even as a SciFi writer! The motive everyone latched onto that would generate this accelerating change is post-human AI, but it could be something else like massive societal change.
