The Al Revolution: The Road to Superintelligence
summary
Claims: narrow AIs (Watson, search/rec sys) already work; hardware trends predict 2025 $1,000 brain‑equivalent and eventual orders‑of‑magnitude scaling; software paths discussed include neural nets, genetic algorithms and whole‑brain emulation, but AGI/ASI remains unbuilt; surprising numbers: human brain ≈10 quadrillion ops/sec and many experts put AGI inside this century; corporate moves (Google buys DeepMind) and examples (Tesla SpaceX access) show real investment; failure mode examples include the paperclip scenario and uncontrollable recursive self‑improvement.
