Geeks and developers can have multiple dimensions to their personality. I respect Steve Jobs for his ruthless and uncompromising focus on quality and his attention to detail. He wasn't just a sales guy.

No it was definitely for the lower class only. Now it’s “counter culture” to not have a tattoo. They are so common. They have become a sign of conformity.

We already have flying cars. They’re called airplanes and helicopters. Those are limited by the laws of physics, so we don’t have antigravity flying vehicles. In the case of AGI we already know it is physically possible.

Introverted high IQ nerds are a tiny percentage of the world population. We exist in a tiny bubble here in Hacker News. I am thinking about society as a whole, how it will affect all types of people and cultures on this planet.

I think of the invention of ASI as introducing a new artificial life form. The new life form will be to humans, as humans are to chimps, or rats, or ants. At this point we have lost control of the situation (the planet). We are no longer at

Yes, of course, but that is beside the point. The American education system was not mass producing incompetent retards before the DoE was established in 1980.

The best we can hope for is that Artificial Super Intelligence treats us kindly as pets, or as wildlife to be preserved, or at least not interfered with. ASI to humans, is like humans to rats or ants.
