I don’t disagree with you about AGI but the timeframe is the big question. Will it come in a decade or a century? Impossible to know.

It seems the current predictive machine learning is reaching it’s breaking point and improvements are slowing down. Is that because the limit is reached or just a temporary slowdown until something better is discovered. Also impossible to know

I have no doubts that AGI will eventually arrive unless we blow ourselves up

I think youre reading way too much into having sails or not lol

I would not want to go back to that era of illiteracy, poverty and disease.

Adapting old ideas into the modern world where it makes sense is good though
