Why Computers Won't Make Themselves Smarter

For those who didn't look at the author, this piece is by Ted Chiang, the Hugo award winning author of many excellent short stories. One of which "Story of your life" was made into the movie "Arrival". I would highly recommend both of his short story collections. He is a deep thinker with a nuanced point of view.

I can't read this article but am currently trying to find ways around that since I think it will be thought provoking at the very least.

Not sure why you can't read the article but you can read and post to HN. Would this help.
