Reply to comment by Lawjarp2 in With all the AI breakthroughs and IT advancements the past year, how do people react these days when you try to discuss the nearing automation and AGI revolution? by AdditionalPizza

Our brains are pretty awesome computational devices. The most complex objects in the known universe. Good enough at what they do to harvest and sort vast quantities of information and render the reality we experience.

Augmented and hooked directly into the net, they should enable us to ride the cresting waves of the singularity along with our machines, if we so choose.

Augmentation itself can create singularity. So no arguments there but augmentation is much more difficult a problem to solve than creating AGI. Undoubtedly AGI will come well before it.

Sure, and if you are an AGI trying to bootstrap your intelligence/abilities at an accelerating rate, why not work out tech that enables you to take advantage of a network of the biological computational systems that designed you in the first place?
