It’s interesting to see how AI does with human theory of mind tests. I find it especially interesting that every time AI accomplishes something that was thought of as something indicative of human thinking, the reaction is always that those accomplishments aren’t so indicative of human thinking after all. Like when chess was thought to be a pinnacle of human intelligence, only to see it easily fall to AI decades ago, chess playing was quickly demoted to something far less impressive. I wonder if that will always be the case, even when AI passes every test. Certainly not everyone will think so but I’ll bet the religious and many philosophers will insist AI is never conscious or sapient.
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.
