    It's ironic that machine intelligence is advancing during an era when human intelligence is declining.

      Maybe machine intelligence only seems to be advancing from the perspective of human intelligence

        I like that thought.

      I feel like declining human intelligence is a result of advancing machine intelligence. Computers are a force multiplier and societal pressure towards building intelligence is reduced.

        So the AGI/ASI problem might solve itself: we slowly become incapable of iterating on the problem while existing AI is not nearly advanced enough to pick up the slack.

        It’s quite beautiful. Once a civilization tries to build machine intelligence it slowly degrades its own capacity during the process thus eventually losing all hope of ever achieving their goal - assuming they still understand their goal at that point. Maybe it’s an algorithm in the Universe to keep us from being naughty.

      It's not. It's just that previously we were unaware how stupid people are, and now we're starting to understand this.
