> "Maybe we will go from solving high-energy physics one year to beginning space colonization the next year; or from a major materials science breakthrough one year to true high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces the next year," he said. Maybe. Or maybe not. We note that fellow futurist Elon Musk, who once cautioned about releasing the AI demon, predicted in 2016 that humans would land on Mars by 2025. "Maybe" What about the definition of "AGI" being changed again to mean something else? What does "AGI" actually mean anymore or was it hijacked again for the purpose of manipulation?
