2030 will be the optimal limit of all technologies, AI as the end state of intelligence

Predicts that 2030 will mark the optimal limit for all technologies. Music streaming is the end state of the phonograph; TV resolution is at visual limits; ICs are near atomic physical limits; all cures for disease are imminent; autonomous EVs are the end state of cars; solar power is the end state of energy. When AI can solve any problem, that will be the end state of intelligence. Dyson spheres are construction projects, not technology, and teleportation will never happen. Reality doesn't care about imagination; invention and innovation are hard because possibilities are limited.
