Within comp sci? Not sure. Within academia writ large? No way. But hey I look to biologists who put biological immortality > 100-200 years out (I've never believed Aubrey de Grey and similars during the 20 years he's been in headlines) and see AGI as in the domain of biology/psychology. We've implicated the brain, that's about it.
- sebzim4500 3y agoIt seems absurd to me that someone would try to make a prediction about the state of technology in 100 years. If you asked people in 1920 to make a list of predictions about what we would/wouldn't be able to do today would they have done better than chance? I guess our understanding of the laws of physics haven't changed that much. So someone predicting that free energy will be impossible is likely correct.
