Russell Evermore stated:
<<Fact: You haven't read the Age of Spiritual Machines carefully enough, or
have utterly failed to grasp the significance of the "Law of Accelerating
Returns".>>

Do you really think that Kurzweil's conjecture is wholly accurate? Perhaps

researcher. Perhaps it take far longer than Kurzweil concludes, despite
progress?
