This is absolutely INSANE if you think about it. For BILLIONS of years, animal intelligence advances at a glacial place. When, eventually, a species comes around that can create superintelligent AI, the highest intelligence on Earth suddenly skyrockets, like hitting a tripwire. https://t.co/Y4U7Dq3Nmi — PolitiTweet.org

...We think there's a huge difference between a dumb person and a genius, but actually there's very little. One year, a certain AI will be outmatched by chimps. The next, it'll be way smarter than Einstein. https://t.co/ObvEV4BwZu — PolitiTweet.org

The implications of this are beyond comprehension. Think about all the things we can know and do and create that a monkey cannot, and our brains are very similar. An intelligence the same 2 "steps" above us would blow our mind. But there's no reason AI would stop there... https://t.co/UnL6RqVpbL — PolitiTweet.org
