"One of the things that he struggled with was actually finishing projects," Baldwin said. "He would get to a prototype and then he would just kind of get excited by the next bright, shiny object to put it in kind of a modern term. And he never really got around to actually, like, you know, commercialising it or making it a financial success."

Low, who died aged 68, carried on making predictions throughout his life. Not all found favour. In 1929, the Daily Express reported, with some outrage, the professor was in some ways an “arrant conservative” who had declared it would be centuries before “women approach men in intelligence” and then only when they take on “men’s physical characteristics”. “A woman doctor in Munich has just been prophesying that women who bob their hair will in time grow beards. She and Professor Low ought to meet,” the paper said.

He didn't get everything right!

He was however accurate about technology. I wonder if anyone today can be as accurate about 2125? It seems there are so many more possibilities when things as momentous as AGI have happened.
