And where this is for lack of good algorithms, it feels like it is for absolutely nothing. Just unforced error.
This is where I feel differently. Not knowing a good algorithm is a good reason not to be able to do something. Brainpower is a limited resource. It feels no more of an unforced error than being unable to do something due to lack of energy.
And, given background singularitarian assumptions that a sufficiently smart AI could bootstrap self replicating nanotech, and make a radically utopian transhumanist future in a matter of days. From this point of view, anything resembling normality is entirely due to lack of good algorithms.
