Another good piece on using exponential growth to predict the future: https://feld.com/archives/2012/06/how-to-predict-the-future/

One of his predictions is that by 2030 computers will be embeddable in the brain. I don’t follow Neuralink closely but I think that’s their goal?

I also just listened to Ray on Lex. Great interview. I'm a big believer that not just writing down your unique thoughts (ideas, insights, predictions), but also sharing them is how you create the future. Ideas need to be shared with the right people/organizations to maximize their value and impact. We're building a tool to do just that.

This is your best post yet. Recursively whispering a future vision into smaller and smaller chunks, refining the definition each time, could produce great results even with current AI. The singularity is nearer!

With reference to the CAD comments in the article, it is worth following generative design capabilities being incorporated into CAD tools(https://makezine.com/article/maker-news/how-to-use-ai-to-build-optimized-models-in-fusion-360-generative-design/) and the ability to use code to create CAD( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28906735)
