Re: Nano Morality


There is only so much money to be made selling banner ads. Are you aware
of how slow AI research is proceding and has been for many decades? Real
money is just starting to be dumped into nanotech. When is your AI
Singularity prediction and when do you think nanotech will be mature?

I know very well how slowly AI research has progressed, mostly because
its objectives were not fully understood in the 1960s and the field was
dominated by University researchers.

But only now are the machines starting to be build at the complexity
and with the power that we may be able to build machines which will be
able to go beyond human beings in all areas of activity, including
morality.

So when do I think that a computer system will be available which will
be able to out perform a human on any intellectual task, about 2060.
When do I think Nanotechnology will exist as an industry like mobile
technology is today, well the task is far more complex and we are
coming up from next to nowhere, so 2160.

Since I will be dead before both events I hope you won't hold me to
these dates.
