Ron et al:

I suspect that you guys are thinking like classic nerds - "ok we just *multiply* the number of minds" - a purely mathematical operation. But actually social thinking is much more than that - the minds will really need to *interact* - they can't just *parallel process* in the current meaning of the term. They would need to do the equivalent of what happens here and in every organization and society - adopt competing positions, form into opposing schools of thought, refuse to talk to each other and go off in theatrical huffs like some who shall be nameless here, conspire against each other, form alliances - & of course have sex with each other.

Ron & co:

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.

Now really expensive if quantum entanglement is in fact present in a hybrid of quantum circuits stored in carbon tetrachloride functioning as a capacitor. In principle 420 billion human minds or about 84 octillion qubits can be stored entangled in 8 Mayonnaise jars of carbon tetrachloride. Carbon tetrachloride causes cancer and requires a government permit to use.
