Well, many people I know (some I am even related to) call it the "singularity," a la Ray Kurzweil, rather than "apocalypse". But I tend to hold transhumanists, socialists, strict logicians, and atheists all in equal contempt :-)
And being a recovering musician I prefer to conceptualize (if I absolutely have to, for the sake of conversation) what is happening as the start of a new octave.

To cut the cord, a chord must sound"
