Stallman and Linus probably think that the rest of you people who also call yourself hackers are actually amoebae. I think the guy is actually getting the message.
I fail to see how a simplistic straight line exrapolation of empirical "laws" like Moore's law lead one to estimate the arrival time of computer based intelligence.
How about this for a law (Andy's Law).
"He who can program a thing, understands a thing."
The inverse is also true:
"He who understands a thing, can program a thing."
We do not have even a rudimentary knowledge of the nature of intelligence. Until we do there will be no real AI.
