The article doesn't say anything along those lines as far as I can tell - it focuses on scaling laws and diminishing returns ("If you want to get linear improvements, you need exponential resources"). I generally agree with the article's point, though I think "Will Never Happen" is too strong of a conclusion, whereas I don't think the idea that simple components ("a box of inanimate binary switches") fundamentally cannot combine to produce complex behaviour is well-founded.
