Unfortunately, I’m not keeping track of what’s ‘thus far’ and not, which is kind of what I just said. Unless you mean ‘thus far’ as in up to the end of 2012, in which case… Hmm. I also haven’t been keeping track of where these arguments are stored in general.
As far as I’m concerned, we have enough obvious cognitive time-wasting—and worse—going on, that the so-called ‘low-hanging fruit’ would be enough to take AI way beyond us, even in the absence of colossal speedups (though that would very likely occur soon) or finding a P solution to NP-complete problems or molecular nanotech (and I’m not ruling those out). We would soon be so useless that trade is not something we could count on to save us.
