Comment on A Scientist Says Humans Will Reach the Singularity Within 21 Years
einkorn@feddit.org 5 weeks agoWell, I read somewhere in the 1800s an official in a major patent office resigned because he believed there was nothing new to invent/patent left.
Might be we will look back at our time right now the same as we do at the 1800s at the brink of a technological revolution.

The “nothing more to invent” is an age old fallacy. And not at all what I stated.
Obviously there is still room for lots of invention, but the so called low hanging fruits are getting rarer.
If the goal is a fully mechanized society where we don’t need to work, we have a long long way to go yet.
