Re: [Sci.nanotech] Re: Nano Morality



Just a side comment, as I find most of this conversation
uninteresting, but one thing popped out at me...

Are you aware of how slow AI research is proceding and has been for

Well, these days, when I call up my airline to get an upgrade on a
flight, I talk -- literally talk -- to a computer. Documents are
routinely read by scanners and transcribed by computer programs these
days, at error rates comparable to the ones humans make. Recently
there was a race you may have heard of sponsored by DARPA in which a
bunch of cars driven entirely by machines drove across the desert. A
couple of decades ago, no one could have built vehicles that drove
autonomously across the desert.

I think there is real progress being made.
