Though, aren't there also plenty of other mechanisms that affect it? For example increasing speed of manufacturing procedures and improving knowledge about how to design complex systems. The end seems to be extremely dense blocks or sp

On the other hand, in my experience absolute equality can also result in stressful situations because of things like diffusion of responsibility and communication difficulties. Sometimes it's just more efficient to outsource decisions

Fair point. I somehow was under the false impression that no one ever uses these Flash Player projectors, but it seems to have been supported for a long time according to the WINE app DB. Still awesome. =D

I'm frequently surprised that wine just works even with the most obscure and odd programs, e.g. exe packed Flash SWFs and programs with weird custom GUIs.

No. Cooperations are not necessarily like artificial intelligences. They are cooperations of human intelligences and these two classes of intelligences have actually very little in common if you look past the similarity that they are potent

I think one of the best evidences we have is the level at which computers outperform the human mind in certain domains. An artificial general intelligence would have very low latency access to all these mathematical and computational tools

Just because we can formulate an optimization objective, it is not guaranteed that we will find an algorithm that solves it within a reasonable amount of time. In case of humans, these objectives or preferred states are possibly very simple

It will be interesting to test whether one can react fast enough if a drone like this approaches from a shallow angle from the side. It could even approach in free fall the last few meters, so it would be almost noiseless: https:/&#x2

Admittedly the more interesting part will be the software flying the drone. It seems we are going to need a lot of these [1] and targeted people will need to wear safety goggles. [1]: http://i.imgur.com/aAh4jwq.gifv
