How much hardware do you claim you need to devel a hard AI?
Available computing power doesn't yet match that of the human brain,
but I see your point, software (in general) isn't getting better
nearly as quickly as hardware is getting better.
Well, not at the personally accessible level. I understand that there
are now several complexes that approximate the processing power of a
human brain...of course, they aren't being used for AI development.
OTOH, if things continue along the same curve (and Vista appears to be
pushing the trend), then it won't be too long. A question I wonder
about is "what's the power supply need of one of these?", but I don't
think that answers at that fine a level are predictable.
