I mean that if we consider humanity as an intelligence, it is clearly in the process of upgrading itself. Of course it's a bit of a stretch to consider all of humanity as a single intelligence, certainly from our individual vantage points. It doesn't seem conscious or even that smart. But from a different vantage point, especially in time, perhaps it does. I do have a more-strongly-integrated distributed intelligence in mind (with 'components' that are less autonomous), but perhaps there are other structures that already are intelligent on different scales, that we don't yet recognize. Perhaps it is not us upgrading, but the universe itself.
