It was only a matter of time that we saw a TechTake from this guy. I’m sorry to inflict Peterson on y’all, but this was too funny not to post.

    The authors did not use Moore’s law or transistors at all. They just thought it was a nifty idea so mentioned it bunches when talking about exponential growth or something.

    Also I’m not sure I totally trust these authors after glancing over the paper, they seem a little too enthralled with the idea of alien DNA versus other possibilities like “Moore’s law” not applying in the first place.

    Also the paper is a decade old.

      And redolent of ‘emerita disease’ although I don’t think the authors have technically achieved that honor.
