> It is a failure of human imagination and human arrogance to assume that we will never build things smarter than ourselves. No it's 21st Century IT-bloke failure of imagination and arrogance. A failure to imagine change: specifically starting to hit real walls and running out of superficial areas of expansion to distract you from the lack of intrinsic progress. It's 21st Century IT-bloke arrogance imagining that the context that has rewarded you with money and power, is also at the heart of an earth-shattering scientific revolution...and not just (which is significant) another industrial revolution leading to new and all too human plateaus.
