Anyways my point is, the reason why we have achieved so much technology, so much 
knowledge in this time is precisely the "we", it's the union of several 
individuals together with their ability to communicate with one-other that has made us 
advance so much.
I agree. A machine that is 10 times as smart as a human in every way could not 
achieve much more than hiring 10 more people. In order to automate the economy, 
we have to replicate the capabilities of not one human mind, but a system of 
10^10 minds. That is why my AGI proposal is so hideously expensive.

Let's fire Matt and hire 10 chimps instead.

Problems with IQ notwithstanding, I'm confident that, were my silly IQ of 145 merely doubled, I could convince Dr. Goertzel to give me the majority of his assets, including control of his businesses. And if he were to really meet someone that bright, he would be a fool or super-human not to do so, which he isn't (a fool, that is).

Even a simpleton such as myself can see that Mr. Mahoney is quite on a wrong track with this line of thought. Matt can know little or nothing about the strategies of such a bright, single agent.
