Ken illustrated my point well. Boston Dynamics might have scripted Atlas' latest test, but there is still nice progress in the last couple of years. Seems clear to me that soon he'll be able to navigate things as they come.  Same with Watson. It won't take many doubling cycles before he stops making those types of mistakes.

And with AI, robots, automation, whatever you want to call it, the knowledge is transferable. Whereas, often us meat sacks, have to repeat the mistakes of our predecessors to relearn as they did.

Seems odd to me to look back at the tech improvements in just the past 20 years and not think these areas will be vastly improved upon, too.
