coined by
IjGood: "Speculations Concerning the [First Ultraintelligent Machine|http://www.aeiveos.com:8080/~bradbury/Authors/Computing/Good-IJ/
SCtFUM.html]" The
IntelligenceExplosion can be seen as a generalization or consequence of
MooresLaw towards the social and cultural change: The exponential increases in scales of
TerraFlops,
InterNet traffic and storage capacities __may__ lead to a world where also intelligence can propagate exponentially. This causes extreme pressures on individual
HuMan MiNd's, because their hardware did not change significantly until the year 2008. In 2008 more and more
MindPeople started to reconfigure their mental basis and applied techniques like
MindDoping. Many people reject to see
IntelligenceExplosion. Why? Probably because of a mythical concept of intelligence. Just do this: On the evening of a sunny summerday, walk through the streets of
NeuStadt. Sometimes, when you look through some of the open windows, you will see people watching tv or sitting at their computer. Do you already see the
IntelligenceExplosion? No? Then go back into the past. Imagine the
NeuStadt in the years 1908, 1808 and 1708. Imagine how many people lived then. Which media did they have? When was electricity invented, understood by scientists, and introduced to
CitiZens at reasonable prices? How many percent of the population of the
CityOfDresden were illiterate? When did they buy their first radio? Their first TV, their first computer, their first mobile? You can see
IntelligenceExplosion, if you focus on symbolic intelligence. Do not think about intelligence as black box process inside your
MiNd, but as a simple almost mechanistic act of
ConScious systems, repeated billion times every second all over
PlanetEarth.
