The point with the population is that we will have 7-9 billion people, with more people doing research, engineering, etc. how many scientists were there in 1900

We will figure out how the brain works, make better transistors, develop better algorithms, etc
An AI “space race” between the US and China, for instance, will push the field forward over the next decade.
- TaylorAlexander 6y agoCollaboration also pushes this field forward. Lots of great AI research coming from China and the US and luckily lots of it is shared openly. IMO that’s how to maximize the rate of innovation.
- sheepdestroyer 6y agoDid you miss the news where average IQ is lowering across the board due to various poorly understood factors (increase of CO2 levels, endocrine disruptors, etc...). We are getting at a massive amount of dumb people ala idiocracy, not sure if that also means more smart scientists in total.
- lostmsu 6y agoIf there's a drop in IQ, right now it is not even comparable to the population rise.
