I'm at a loss. This is the dumbest thing I have read in a long time and I kept re-checking the address bar in amazement to see that this is really on The Economist. I'm sort of shocked to see such obscene detritus published by them. This was such a garbled mess. We're using Moore's Law as a predictor of strong AI? Really? Does anyone there have an education in just basic CS, let alone AI? We're just totally skirting over very serious issues as to whether strong AI is even realistic, especially by 2040. The Moore's Law stuff is just laughable. And before we can even get our head of the boring technical stuff, away we go, crafting these predictions.
