Moore's law is that transistor size per area will double every couple years. I think it's fair to say that this will not go on for very much longer. 3d stacks on chips and other technologies will be used, but Moore's law itself will not stay.

I think people will continue to do what they've always done: overload and change the meanings of the terms "high", "very high", "ultra", etc. :)

The discussion veered off the original topic but I think I should say that I've seen a number of go players deprecating chess. They are different games so the comparison as to which is the better game is comparing apples and oranges.

Welcome to the internet. Off topic:
The fixation on Moore's Law misses the point entirely.
That's not the focus of the essay, which is titled The Law of Accelerating Returns.

I think a lot of go players are downright insulting to chess players, and vice versa. That's life.

The second was a 3d player in UK in the early 70s. I did not really know him except by sight, but knew of him. I don't recall his name but I am sure someone else here will. He was some sort of chess champion: the British junior champion comes to mind, but that may be wrong. Anyway, he was good at chess. When he discovered go he pretty much gave up playing chess. Clearly Go impressed him more than chess.

Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Humans, like many other species, are very tribal and territorial.
In many ways, not much has changed the past 20,000 to 10M years.
