> What do people not understand about exponential growth?

Exponential growth in hardware doesn't mean an exponential growth in how useful technology is in our lives. Modern gaming consoles are billions of times more powerful than an original nintendo, but they aren't billions of times more fun and enjoyable.

I have no idea where it will all lead or when, but I don't think Kurzweil is correct in assuming each factor of 1000 that hardware grows means AI will grow 1000x more powerful compared to humans. I have no idea where all this will lead.

I think ASI is inevitable, I just don't know what impact it'll have or when it'll arrive.
