This is the high water mark, the summer solstice if you will, of the current wave.

Buckle up, Serious People are going to rediscover the fundamental Hard Problems and relocate the current Hot Topics into their appropriate ontologies.

What is some evidence or reasoning that we are reaching certain hard limits as you mentioned?

I'll take a stab at it.

I think they are saying...Intellectuals are going to change the way they guide their research or formulate their hypothesis based on the this work at MIT. This person believes that this project signifies a paradigm shift in the fundamental origins of thought, hereafter nothing will be the same.

I think this person is trying way to hard to sound smart or poetic.

I can't tell if this is satire about the current state of AI and its hype cycle or not.

Nah. enord's saying that they'll all sit down together and realise that they don't know very much about intelligence after all.

So all the current excitement around super-intelligent AIs, and whatnot, will go the same way as it has the previous times we all got excited.
