        Embarrassingly out-dated article attacking views (evil robots, really?) no serious people hold.

        Interesting but "No conscious, intelligent entity is going to emerge from a Turing Machine" begs the question "Human" - "Turing Machine" = ?

        Human - Turing Machine = Human Nature? And I don't think our hormones elevate us. They rather hold us down.

        There were some good points in there, but computational limits of Turing machines do _not_ exclude AI

        As far as we know, human brains obey the same computational constraints and yet we are intelligent beings

        “We should make AI do... ,” is where this article, and this line of thinking lose the plot. We will not *make AGI do anything
