A repost points to an article about Hans Moravec and his early predictions, quoting Robin Hanson on how Moravec’s ideas started circulating in the 1990s.
The quote notes that several people who discussed those ideas on early mailing lists later became prominent, including Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nick Bostrom, and Robin Hanson himself. The post frames Moravec as a prescient figure whose influence spread through the early AI discourse.
