rick,

Except that the author bases his argument on an inaccurate premise. See: http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/ for an excellent speech recognizer. It's open source (has been for at least a decade). In fact, the Apple (who the author omitted) and Microsoft both based their speech recognizers on Sphinx (I know, I worked in the ATG research team at Apple that developed their speech recognizer). The Festival project (Google it), also partly hosted at CMU, is a world-class speech synthesizer. Also open source and free to all. And, there are others (eSpeak - based on Festival, GPL and free).

Cheers,

Brad

There was a brief post on a possible path to agi at http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=271202 yesterday. Essentially it involves masses of people creating binary classifiers in a economic market system, similar to how content is created on the web today (though with a micropayment system rather than advertising supported model).
