Probably the last "intelligence explosion" - a relatively rapid increase in the degree of adaptability capabile of being exhibited by an organism - was the appearance of the first Homo sapiens. The number and variety of tools created by Homo sapiens compared to earlier hominids indicate that this was one of the great leaps forward in history (probably greatly facilitated by a more elaborate language ability). > If you take > the intelligence explosion scenario seriously you won't write anything > in public forums that might help other people make AI.

I don't fear intelligence, only ignorance. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=106510220-47b225 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
