One of the biggest misconceptions people have about intelligence is seeing it as some kind of unbounded scalar stat, like height. "Future AI will have 10,000 IQ", that sort of thing. Intelligence is a conversion ratio, with an optimality bound. Increasing intelligence is not so much like "making the tower taller", it's more like "making the ball rounder". At some point it's already pretty damn spherical and any improvement is marginal. Now of course smart humans aren't quite at the optimal bound yet on an individual level, and machines will have many advantages besides intelligence -- mostly the removal of biological bottlenecks: greater processing speed, unlimited working memory, unlimited memory with perfect recall... but these are mostly things humans can also access through externalized cognitive tools.

bhai this noice fruit jam is life changing, has minimal sugar, but still tastes so fking good. have been adding half tbsp in curd, peanut butter sandwiches, morning oats.

I don’t particularly like Clavicular but he’s 100% right. watching sportsball and getting drunk with your “friends” is one of the most harmful ways of spending you time “the best choose one thing above all: immortal glory. the many care only to glut themselves like cattle”
