fuagf -- have been stockpiling stuff on the topic/topic area for some time, has been a while since I addressed in a post -- there have been/continue to be major breakthroughs in re quantum computing since/beyond the reach of that one, including in just the last week or so -- and beyond that a lot of other/further stuff generally in re artificial intelligence and robotics -- bottom line, with or without the vastly larger further domain/horizons that will be opened up with quantum computing, AI and/with/embodied in robotics, both far beyond our scope/capabilities, are well on the way and will be here much sooner than most have any idea (and in some respects already are) -- our time as the top species or even type/form of life here is rapidly passing/coming to an end; we will soon be left behind by our own creations
