@Azure Personally, I think the most likely and most worrying path to superintelligence isn't even computer centric - it's human centric. it's human beings acquiring more knowledge and more tools for building AI, and then using those AI to get more knowledge and more tools. And this path, I'm absolutely certain is possible, and expect to allow massive gains over a period of moths. Yes, it's a bit slower than the standard hard takeoff scenario, but not enough. Do you expect our current government, or even whatever comes after it, to be able to make any kind of a useful action on such a takeoff? I don't. :/
