I have one word for Thiel and Kasparov: Biology. There are many known-unknowns in the sphere of biology, and by extension, medicine right now. We may be approaching the top of the s-curve for computational and industrial technology, but we are at the bottom left of the biology curve, and now we have the tools to start exploring that space systematically.

The entire time I'm reading the article and the comments, I'm just mentally jaw-dropped by these comments. We are no where near the top of the 's-curve' for computational or industrial technology. The entire argument is a straw man by Kasparov. Name a single science which has not been dramatically changed in the last 20 years by the application of computation. Its just boggling to me how Kasparov's argument holds any sway.
