    I find there’s 4 kinds of folks talking about AI.

    There’s folks who think it’s as amazing as all the tech firms tell us:

    1. And we’re all gonna die

    Or

    1. And life will be amazing

    Then there’s folks who think AI is hype whack bananas

    1. And think it’s a scam.

    And lastly,

    1. The folks who see that we’ve already changed life as we know it with AI. That there’s still massive potential, but folks in categories 1 and 2(, and 3,) are all kinda nuts.

    4 gang.

        That’s in line with type 4. I guess it needs subtypes like 1 and 2 or whatever.

        I agree with your view there, but also believe that it won’t take much to get from where we are to where we begin to have novel solutions/approaches to things like quantum computation, superconductors, cold fusion, nuclear fusion, et al.

        Should that happen, I would disagree. Until some other stronghold gives way, I agree.

        Quantum computers seem most plausible.

      I’m in whatever subset of 4 believes advancements in AI are necessary almost to the point of being an ethical obligation at this point. Transhuman or bust.
