Sadly, I was impacted by some unscrupulous matters of business today, which has caused me no little distress. I am already hours delayed in hitting the rack. When I was younger, I claimed sleep was the enemy, that I would sleep when I was dead. Today I crave sleep I cannot get, and tonite is one more day in the last week I expect to get only a couple hours.

I do actually sleep too little, and type too much, but spend a lot more time reading, which those better authors and sources of information enable me to glean from reading them. You do flatter me.

Thanks!

Is general AI already here ?

No, and it's unlikely to become possible anytime soon. The stark difference in complexity between our extant digital devices and even Archaea, life forms that pre-existed multicellular life, is nearly incomprehensible, multiple orders of magnitude different.

Limited AI, such as the apps we use daily, Steemit, Excel, those that run our phones, are burgeoning almost as incomprehensibly as how much more complex living things are, and are soon to impact decentralized technology enabling individual means of production that will concomitantly render institutional power obsolete, and with it the lure of Skynet and some global generalized AI overlord.
