Opinion about the Intelligence Explosion from Bill Gates:

You’ll be at the superhuman level almost as soon as that algorithm is implanted, in silicon. And actually as time goes by that silicon piece is ready to be implanted, the amount of knowledge, as soon as it has that learning algorithm it just goes out on the internet and reads all the magazine and books…

Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

Implanting the learning algorithm in silicon will enable humans to reach a superhuman level almost instantly. The silicon piece will be ready to be implanted soon, and with the learning algorithm, it can access and read all the books and magazines on the internet. As time passes, the amount of knowledge that can be accessed through the learning algorithm will increase.

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

So I try not to get too exercised about this but when people say it’s not a problem, then I really start to get to a point of disagreement. How can they not see what a huge challenge this is?
