I normally balance on the relatively skeptical side on most things. But topics like this make me giddy. No doubt consequences and roadblocks will abound. But if superhuman intelligence is coming in some form (and I think it is), I'm excited. Embarrassingly so. The 'what will happen?' story is hard to pin down. What are the emotional impacts of owning a 100X better than Einstein brain? What are the social impacts? Does collaboration work better? Human intelligence enabled a step change in mammalian collaboration during the paleolithic revolution. Genetic engineering is not the only potential path either. Technological access to information extends the human cognitive potential. The interface between mind and machine may reach revolutionary points. Our minds have different learning capabilities at 20 days, 20 months or 20 years old. Can that be hacked? Can we have all these capabilities at once, for extended periods? Like I said, giddy.
