The last invention

[timelets]

Can't wait.

The arrival of superintelligence will clearly deal a heavy blow to anthropocentric worldviews. Much more important than its philosophical implications, however, would be its practical effects. Creating superintelligence may be the last invention that humans will ever need to make, since superintelligences could themselves take care of further scientific and technological development. They would do so more effectively than humans. Biological humanity would no longer be the smartest life form on the block.

I wonder how it feels to be someone's dog.

It's a total mystery and it better stays like that until one's obituary or at least a tear drop at one's fresh grave.
