It’s overly optimistic to put a timeline on it, but I don’t see any reason why we won’t eventually create superhuman AGI.

CCFL-lit LCDs are so inefficient compared to modern LED-lit LCDs that you’ve probably spent enough more on electricity by now to have bought a more efficient monitor.

Since when do bats speak in monospace?
