This is what Super Intelligence really is (so you don't sound stupid)

On a plane to Vegas from Los Angeles, I had a fierce discussion about Super Intelligence.

We humans have the tendency to transform any advanced technology to a humanized God figure, that would either liberate us or destroy us

It's probably because when we don't understand something, we turn it into Gods.

But what about when this something can turn us into Gods?

What Super Intelligence is

-- from AGI to S.I

Imagine we have a machine that can tells us ANYTHING we need to know. About anything. What would you ask that machine?

Let me give you some ideas:

1. How to cure all diseases
2. How to travel into space
3. Is there a God?

And if you are working for a government:

1. How to create a Quantum weapon that orbits the Earth.

All these questions, can (and will) be answered by S.I.

How to cure all diseases?

Here are the papers needed to build all the cures.

How to travel into space?

Here is how to create these quantum engines.

Is there a God?

There is now.

Humanity's new goal

S.I will give us a gargantuan amount of instructions on how to build stuff. Cool. Now someone has to build them.

Our new mission as human kind is building. Tons of new drugs to be made, tested and deployed. New machines. The second industrial revolution is here.

Super Intelligence is not (just) a smarter chatbot. We already have that. Fable is already smarter than the majority of humans. AGI is (partially?) here.

Tha Manhattan Project 2

The US is leading the A.I and S.I race (as of 2026). It doesn't matter if your favorite Chinese model is cheaper, nothing compares with the raw power of the US models when it comes to thinking.

But it doesn't matter if you are the smartest kid in the room if you don't have any tools to build.

Factories and manual work will become the bottleneck the moment we start the exponential growth of S.J. Countries with infrastructure in place will leapfrog into the future.

And the pending question is:

Would we work all right to explore the stars or S.I will be our humanity's last hooray?

All we know, is Super Intelligence will be the last machine humanity will ever build and it is inevitable.
