12. Over the next 20 - 50 years, they're going to try and shortcut with AI..

But until science and tech can build a bio-computer similar to a crow's brain, let alone a human's brain, there's still some logical jumps and functions AI can't do without having a server farm the size of Alaska. Quantum computers can come closer. But with the current crop of tech bros depending on leveraging other people's prior work to "train" AI to do the job of a real person, well - we aren't going to get AI to be able to copy the paradoxical component in the human brain that inspires inspiration.
Honestly, what the Billionaire types seem to be wanting to do is create a compliant android Alexa to do work while they sit back and play Masters of the Universe.
If they started backing something like, say, Bell Labs or the Skunk Works, or a commercial version of DARPA - idea farms where someone could begin research without a need for profit, then I'd really start being interested in what they did.
Until they do that, they're just leveraging other people's work and pretending to innovate.
They're still going to have to depend on people to get the results they want. Otherwise, it's GIGO.
