Some of the most intelligent people in the world will gather together, and learn that they still don't even know what "intelligent"
means, much less how to actually
build it.
Then they will discover that this has happened before--several times--and the reasons they had to think that it was all different this time were all based on exaggeration and wishful thinking, promoted by people trying to make a buck.
We can throw more hardware at the problem now, but even so, every advance seems to be accompanied by a reassessment and lengthening of the distance to the finish line.
