That's a fair point I hadn't considered! If intelligence is valuable in humans, and some cost factor of advancing human intelligence can be surpassed digitally like this, (I don't know how you'd measure intellect efficiency, somehow involving calories-in/good-descisions-out or something?) then there's economic incentive.
But that feels very far off, even in the current exponential curve of efficiency we're on. Can't go on forever.
- xpe 2y agoSome suggestions: - Don't assume only digital intelligence. - Intelligence is fundamentally valuable to humans. No need to add any caveats. > But that feels very far off, even in the current exponential curve of efficiency we're on. Can't go on forever. What exactly feels far off to you? In many cases, sure, exponential growth can't go on forever, but one has to be careful about spelling out what you mean. What are your axes? Don't forget that each successive technology may introduce a new growth pattern. One has to be quite careful in analyzing and forecasting these things.
