But efficiency doesn't equate to intelligence. I don't see how it would be possible to deliberately create something more intelligent than the most intelligent thing. Even if we fully understood the brain we wouldn't be able to make something more intelligent than it because we wouldn't know anything else. You're basically saying we can design something capable of answering questions that we don't know exist.

in a way, it sort of does. intelligence is basically the ability to solve problems in the most efficient manner.

Thought it was more survival of the fittest rather than trial and error.

I guess they both fall under Law of Effect.

Spoiler for my results:
i'm not sure why some of these are considered more "liberal" or more "conservative". |

1) Trial and Error (Chemistry) 2) Accidentally (X-ray technology) 3) Technology catches up to human intelligence (Nanotechnology) I'm just not understanding how you think we can deliberately create something more intelligent than ourselves. That's like inventing a magic 8-ball that actually works. Can you give even one real world example of what you're claiming? We use technology to create things to help us better understand and influence our surroundings in order to create new things to help us better understand and influence our surroundings... and on and on and on. |

Considering their main goal is to make money through their understanding of the economy, then I should hope it would be.
