In which case, I hope you make the best for your next 44 years.

BTW, in his latest book "The Lifebox ...", Rudy Rucker predicts it'll
be much longer than what Moravec's 20-year old predictions say before
computer intelligence will match human. Year 2100 before the computer
hardware is powerful enough, and years beyond that to produce (ie,
evolve) the proper software.


The estimate of 2050 is not important. What is important is what seemy
said, "The writing is on the walls and our brains better shape up or
face obsolescence." He is absolutely right. Obviously, we don't have
the science and technology to shape up our brains yet but we should
develop and implement that before Hans Moravec's predicted future of
human and beyond artificial intelligence materializes. It would very
dangerous to have AI which understands "us" better than we understand
each other. We must remain the masters of AI and not let the opposite
happen.
