I have nothing witty or insightful to say, but figured this probably deserved a post. I flipped a coin between sneerclub and techtakes.

They aren’t interested in anything besides “superintelligence” which strikes me as an optimistic business strategy. If you are “cracked” you can join them:

We are assembling a lean, cracked team of the world’s best engineers and researchers dedicated to focusing on SSI and nothing else.

    Superintelligence is an AI meaningfully beyond human capability.

    It pretty obviously can’t be achieved by brute forcing something already way past diminishing returns, though.

      I’m actually, not convinced that AI meaningfully beyond human capability actually makes any sense, either. The most likely thing is that after stopping the imitation game, an AI developed further would just… have different goals than us. Heck, it might not even look intelligent at all to half of human observers.

      For instance, does the Sun count as a super intelligence? It has far more capability than any human, or humanity as a whole, on the current time scale.

        No, but the moon does.

        Capability is such a vague word, and intelligence isn’t all that much better defined.
