[ExI] Is AI about to take off fast?

[Adrian Tymes]

Yes.  See what you, personally, can do or contribute - and what you are
interested in contributing - in both cases, keeping it to effective
contributions.

No one cares about opinion, screens, manifestos, or the like, so don't do
those.  Bans won't stop enough people to matter - they'd need to stop
everyone, which they won't - so don't waste your time arguing or lobbying
for those.

If there is an AI system that you think should exist, make it.  Learn the
skills you need and then create at least a prototype.

Or if, like me, you can best contribute in some other way, do that instead.

The Extropian movement was never solely about AI.  The importance of AI
does not mean that all resources must be dedicated solely to AI, no more
than any one topic can ever justify deresourcing everything else.
