@Jay
Yeah, that's about how I remember it.

@zepherin
Supposedly when strong AI / molecular nanotechnology / whatever finally gets built. Things should probably get pretty interesting around 2030 if the pace of current developments keep up.

The better-fitting hyperbolic curve predicts a hard takeoff in a couple years or so. Beyond that, the condition of razors may not be comprehensible to normal human minds.

it's kinda a moral crap out to just allow idea to free people from the idea that they should be nice to each other, so I kinda avoid discussing that even though I believe technology will continue to progress. :X
