Exponential functions in nature are illusions from observing logistic functions & ignoring times beyond inflection point.

@FutureDek My old grad advisor once spent weeks looking for a physical example of xdot=ax, where a is positive. Failed.

I see no technology poised to destroy labor demand like the 2 ICs (internal combustion, integrated circuit).

Quantum computing computes in polynomial time, but qbits are added to processors in logarithmic time.

Our theory of mind is still rudimentary; demanding AI now is like asking the Wright Brothers to work from Aristotle's physics.
@FutureDek
RAM seems at its cell size limit, flash is almost out of tricks, and most new processor cores sit idle.
@FutureDek
But the "general AI" comment points to smarter use of current tech, for which there definitely is demand!
@FutureDek
Their tech taxonomy is foreshortened: long-ago development efforts are too alien to seem quick or intelligent to them.
