Could you elaborate a bit on this analysis? It'd be interesting how you arrived at that number.

Thanks, that was indeed interesting.

Now, the only point I do not understand yet is how the expectations of the original AI researchers are a factor in this. Do you have some reason to believe that their expectations were too optimistic by a factor of about 10 (1970 vs 2100) rather than some other number?
