[ExI] History

[Keith Henson]

There is an article from someone who has looked into the history of this list.

https://www.maximumprogress.org/extropia-archaeology

" A group of a few dozen prolific posters are the seeds of the online
intellectual communities around AI, existential risk, accelerationism,
effective altruism, rationalism, libertarianism, and cryptocurrency.

" Whether you have heard of the Extropians or not, they have influenced you."

It's an amusing read.

It will be very interesting to see where things go in the next couple
of years as AI matures and (possibly) we see alien megastructures that
were anticipated by the Extropians of yore.
