Timescales aside, I find Kurzweil's predictions hype. What it does
show is that evolution is needed to explain life and intellgence, and
that complex adaptive systems are needed to achieve it. Oh look, we
are one.

Kurzweil addresses this, claiming that the process of evolution itself has
followed the path of accelerating returns. He claims that as complexity
proceeds time speeds up and that the process of evolution has followed a
geometric pattern of acceleration. Moore's law he claims is an extension of
this.
