Nanotechnology, genetic engineering for designer babies/immortality, and artificial general intelligence will not be achieved - they are 'illusions' or 'scams'.
What Jiang said
“These are not possible within the current scientific framework that we have today. In fact, I would make the argument that these three are essentially illusions. Hocus pocus, magic. Or you can even go as far as to say they are deliberate scams.”
Analysis
Jiang argues these three fields are essentially impossible within the current scientific framework and are either hype or deliberate scams rather than achievable technological goals.
