As a 50+ nerd, for decades I carried the idea that can't we just build a sufficiently large neural net, throw some data at it and have somehow be usefully intelligent? So it's kind of showing strong signs of something I've been waiting for.

In the 70's I read in some science book for kids about how one day we will likely be able to use light emitting diodes for illumination instead of light bulbs, and this "cold light" will save us lots of energy. Waited out that one too; it turned out so.
