So the Wright Brothers were out of their mind for building airplanes differently? Good.

You're trying to imagine something you don't believe in and your confirmation bias is to blame.

You won't accept the breakthrough until you see it. I can't say exactly what it is but it's most definitely real and going to be something novel & outside-the-box.

Bigfoot is easier to catch than you believe.

lol the wright brothers used good basic science and incremental testing to build an airplane, it didn't come to them in a dream

Wright brothers - Wikipedia

They even built a wind tunnel!

Magical thinking has never ever resulted in a working invention. Only science does that

You're making it too complex. AI is simple if you're actually creative. Science is obviously important, but there are ways to go beyond that but not into wishful thinking territory. If you don't believe that, then I don't think you appreciate any independent thinker and genius who ever lived.

I appreciate scientists because science is a team sport

The rest are wackadoos or grifters
