humans interact with discrete artificial intelligence (like a robot
or software program that talks to us), but far less frequently
offer visions of <A href="http://memebox.com/futureblogger/show/86-exponential-human-iq-increase-are-we-living-it" target="_blank" linkindex="147" set="yes">
runaway human intelligence enhancement</A> (people made smarter by

I remain a bit surprised at the overall lack of speculation re:
what it might be like for humans to gradually bootstrap their
intelligence over the coming years. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.memebox.com/futureblogger/show/619-how-smart-will-humans-be-in-2020-">Given the deluge of brain-enhancing, capability-extending new
technologies and ideas soon to be made widely available and
affordable, it’d be great to see more thinkers, writers, and
bloggers venture into the territory of plausible near-term culture
and <A href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-Computer_Symbiosis" target="_blank" linkindex="155" set="yes">Intelligence
