Yeah, I know about Kurzweil. The tech singularity is close. Maybe 20 years away, by his reckoning (though human-level intelligence is likely by 2029). Though if you follow Vernon Virge's estimations, the singularity will be sooner than 2045 - maybe before the end of this decade.

There's a fear that this is going to be a bad thing, based on a general cyberphobia. Are we going to replace ourselves? Will computers view us as inferior and thus eventually seek war with us? Will we be attacked or assimilated like Star Trek predicted with the Borg plot line, or how Homosapiens attacked and mated the Neanderthals out of existence?

Thanks. I was going for irony. :-)

It's interesting to see how technology has advanced faster than many people expected. It's true that AI and space technology have made significant strides in recent years, and it's exciting to think about the possibilities for the future. It's also important to remember that while advancements in technology can be rapid, it still takes time for these developments to be fully realized and integrated into society. It's important to keep an open mind and stay informed about the latest advancements in these fields, as they may bring about positive changes in the near future.

Every time. I immediately go to IMDB.
