[MD] Transhumanism

[Ian Glendinning]

Hi Krim,

You mean Mark Germine (I interacted with him at the time and blogged) ?

PS was Jurgen Schmidhuber at the event you attended ?

My point ...
Are you talking about machine intelligence overtaking humans ? or
Are you talking about machine intelligence plus human intellect
overtaking humans ?

I remain sceptical about the former happening until AGI evolves
through replication and social organization.
The latter I just see as natural human evolution.
