All of this stuff is cool and there is definitely support in both academia and industry for all of this, but I think predictions about how soon it will arrive are off-base by a lot. What if political and social disruption increases? What if the measures we’ve used to gauge progress over the last decade are all wrong because they were based on massive amounts of capital inflows from the Federal Reserve? I cringe typing this because I feel like some paranoid militia-person in the early 90’s, but still I think technological progress could easily be hindered as society looks to make social and political progress for a period of time instead.
