Thanks for the fun loop Pei, I think I break out at this level. Here
is a brief overview on how I think AI might develop.

I slowly build a goal orientable, programmable computer architecture
that works by guiding the allocation of resources by good programs
outbidding less good programs for them in an unstructured economy.

Darpa/NASA/network scientists use it on a few projects and find it
allows autonomous upgrading of robots and routers, with minimal
overhead for the application. This pretty much just saves engineer
time.

More buzz on the internet gets academics and Open source researchers
building/porting and researching higher level reasoning systems that
fit on top and can understand the economic signals being sent around.
Also methods for transferring skills between different systems are
developed to facilitate research.

Explosion in widespread use as it becomes ready to communicate and
adapt to  humans, forming a self-upgrading external brain. As
individual humans teach their own brains specific skills, which are
then quickly spread between machines (if the owner is altruistic in
that fashion and has encouraged and initially installed that program).

Then ???
