"Regardless of what fundamentals you learn, by the time that you graduate college, much of the information you acquired there will no longer apply—and things are only going to get worse as our research into automation and artificial intelligence continues to advance." -- Acting administrator of NASA, Robert Lightfoot

I know you don't realize what truly incredible times we are in. You think you do, but you don't. I realize that's incredibly arrogant for me to say, and I'm really sorry; especially for those who actually do and are trying to wake other people up to the awesome might of AI. But for the vast majority of those who are in the dark, please listen.

There has never been a time like what's happening now with AI -- not even close, because of the advanced AI/robots which are coming down the pike in a few years, rather than the typical human beings like every time before in our history, or the history of every living biological creatures in the last 3-1/2 billion years. This is truly the next stage, and I believe with every fiber of my being that in a few years you will really see the awful truth, and the implications will be utterly staggering. AI will end up moving ahead in our lifetime into unimaginable realms, and we (every one of us humans) will be left behind, whether humanely killed or put in a zoo like the caged rats that we are is immaterial. Unless ANI puts us back to the stone age before that, because of the insane although well-meaning military, who can't stop themselves. But I don't know how to persuade you! Another video of Ray Kurzweil is not going to persuade you, and I wonder if there is anything that can. You have to really dig deep, and that requires passion and patience and a willingness to work long hours for many years -- and most of you haven't got that grit. I do. Many people do -- but not enough.
