Maybe I’ve been missing some important stuff, but it seems the most relevant and important updates eventually just bubble up to the front page of HN or get mentioned in the comments

Expert Systems looked really cool back in the '80s. Doctors would become a thing of the past etc etc. It seemed so obvious - codify knowledge and then ask it questions. Profit!

This time the expert systems generate themselves over vast fields of everything by reading Facebook, Reddit and the rest of the internet that they can find.

On that rather shaky basis the next "leap" in AI will be around 2070. Perhaps that one will create AGI or something that looks more like it.
