This bit (from Karnofsky):
...is probably not right. Nobody really knows how tough this problem will prove to be once we stop being able to crib from the human solution - and it is possible that progress will get tougher. However, much of the progress on the problem has not been obviously based on reverse-engineering the human prediction algorithm in the first place. Also machine prediction capabilities already far exceed human ones in some domains - e.g. chess, the weather.
Anyway, this problem makes little difference either way. Machines don't have the human pelvis to contend with, and won't be limited to running at 200 Hz.
