This is a sobering assessment of a simple, highly plausible scenario that could easily result in the extinction of humanity through AI (which is improving much faster than Moore’s Law, now doubling performance every four months instead of every 18 months). Never before has humanity faced such a broad range of pathways less than a decade away: virtual utopia versus human extinction.
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.
