Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.

The A.I. revolution is coming! We'll be able to . . . make self driving cars!
Eric Drexler pretty much saw the real significance of A.I. in the science/technological future - A.I. coupled with nanomanufacturing will make for science and technology developments . . . so complex and at such a pace as to outstrip human comprehension. We've covered this territory enough, but I'm still struck by today's A.I. researchers.
I learned of emotional A.I. and Affectiva for one(there's actually lots more than Affectiva), but I tried to talk to them about 1) using emotional A.I. to detect bias; we can detect the emotional reaction to someone who doesn't want to take in a fact or logic, and 2) one can detect people lieing, at least to some degree; the deepmind A.I. isn't that good, actually. I tried talking to this one lie detector/terrorist A.I. researcher,Aaron Elkins about my linguistic findings on irrationality, fear, https://wwwscientifichumanism.blogspot.com/2018/05/inconsistent-conceptsevasive-language.html
this blog post is my latest - I put all my posts about evasive language in the replies section, and he and everyone at Affectiva can't reply. There's other A.I. researchers I've tried to talk to about using A.I. to fight immaturity and irrationality, and they all can't talk about this.
I've found much the same with the Foresight Institute. They say, "oh the nanotech future is coming, lets figure out the dangers." O.k. lets talk about fear, irrationality, and the dark ages . . . nope, I got banned by Christine Peterson, and Eric Drexler and Chris Phoenix reacted quite violently. I actually keep hoping that Eric Drexler was just trying to shut the conversation down; that he feels that one shouldn't try to talk about the implications that the science/technological future is coming, and the anti-science can't do anything about it. If you just stop talking about it(notice that Bill Joy tried to raise a storm, and it was met with pretty much silence. Bill Joy's efforts have become forgotten already).
Very strange to have had such a negative reaction from the nanotech crew. Perhaps it was your approach?
