and how you define technology. Look outside, look in the store, stuff is static or getting worse and prices are rising. I can see no evidence of accelerating technological progress outside. when will "AI" do anything that makes life better for a normal person?

I sometimes feel like I'm living in another world to some people.

* AI reduced hospital deaths by 17%: A trial of 15,965 patients found AI-assisted ECG monitoring reduced 90-day mortality from 4.3% to 3.6%. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-02961-4

* AI improved stroke treatment: NHS hospitals using AI-assisted brain scans doubled clot-removal treatment rates from 2.3% to 4.6%. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41339157/

* AI restored communication for a paralysed patient: A man with ALS used an AI brain-computer interface to communicate over 183,000 sentences and maintain full-time employment. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-026-04414-6

These have happened in the very short space of time that AI has become really competent. The stuff in the pipeline is mind boggling, and includes curing most cancers, curing ageing, unlimited energy, etc.
