Summary of every post from KurzweilAI.net since it's launch years ago:

"Machine intelligence will surpass human intelligence and a singularity will happen. Why? Technology gets more advanced."

Broken record...

Somebody needs to introduce Kurzweil to the concept of the asymptote.

I agree. Something like this maybe?

But unless you've got evidence that we've started to 'turn the other corner', doesn't your graph suggest that the level of technology is going to increase by the same factor as it did since the (say) 1950s?

And even then, maybe the AI level of technology is below the level to which we might be tending towards?
