I think totally differently. I think it’s actually just getting started, and it’s about to get even huger and more incredible, which is hard to believe. And then it will get even BIGGER — for a very simple reason. This is totally unlike every other technology-driven wave in existence — this is an existential event that has not been seen in all of human history. You will have to go all the way back to 3–1/2 BILLION years ago to find a comparable event, when the first life oozed out upon this earth. This is the second “wave” — artificial intelligence, and it’s going to truly take your breath away like never before. AI and robots, in our lifetime, doing infinitely better than humans at everything, charting new horizons that we, at a fundamental level, can never get to — that is what awaits us, as we plan to die so that the true next generation can flourish.

    I am extremely interested in AI, especially the not-so-good side of AI weapons and AI war, although the good parts are magnificent and wonderful too, naturally.
