How My Comprehension of Superintelligence Shaped My Feelings About Eating Meat

> Something profound came across my radar recently. The cost of originating chip designs has been rising exponentially as process complexity rises with shrinking feature sizes. The whole industry has been seeing fewer and fewer players in the new chip design market and projecting that the latest 7/10 nm processes would have only a handful of customers. Instead, it looks to be into the dozens of customers. Why? Artificial intelligence.

Uh, what? Why is AI the reason for these things? I didn't see any explanation.

Other than that this article fits the theme of most things I see written about "superintelligence": a lot of breathless extrapolation based on little evidence.
