Isn’t Kurzweil’s primary claim that technological progress has always been an exponential and that Moore’s law is just the best known instance of a broader phenomenon?
I’ve noticed that many people miss Kurzweil’s claims. Such as I keep encountering the misconception that Kurzweil claims that technical advances will become infinite, which is just silly, and he never claims this. I have talked briefly with him about it and he says that the exponential climb will probably give way to a new paradigm that changes the way things are done rather than continue to infinity (or approach an asymptote).

Yes, that’s true.
I guess my point is confused. Let me reformulate. . . done.
