Overview of Strong Human Intelligence Amplification Methods by TSVIBT How can we make many humans who are very good at solving difficult problems? Heading Summary Table of made-up numbers I made up the made-up numbers in this table of made-up numbers. Therefore, the numbers in this table of made-up numbers are made-up numbers. There's an image here. Description
Table of made-up numbers comparing various neurotechnology and software categories. There's an image here. Description. Table of made-up numbers for various neurotechnology research areas and timelines.
Heading. Call to action. If you have a shitload of money, there are some projects you can give money to that would make supergenius humans on demand happen faster. If you have a fuckton of money, there are projects whose creation you could fund that would greatly accelerate this technology.
If you're young and smart, or are already an expert in either stem cell, reproductive biology, biotech, or anything related to brain-computer interfaces, there are some projects you could work on. If neither, think hard, maybe I missed something. You can DM me or Gmail me at TSVTACT.
Heading Context Subheading The Goal
What empowers humanity is the ability of humans to notice, recognize, remember, correlate, ideate, tinker, explain, test, judge, communicate, interrogate, and design. To increase human empowerment, improve those abilities by improving their source. Human Brains AGI is going to destroy the future's promise of massive humane value.
To prevent that, create humans who can navigate the creation of AGI. Humans alive now can't figure out how to make AGI that leads to a humane universe. These are desirable virtues. Philosophical problem-solving ability, creativity, wisdom, taste, memory, speed, cleverness, understanding, judgment.
These virtues depend on mental and social software, but can also be enhanced by enhancing human brains. How much? To navigate the creation of AGI will likely require solving philosophical problems that are beyond the capabilities of the current population of humans, given the available time, some decades.
6 standard deviations is 1 in 10 to the power of 9, 7 standard deviations is 1 in 10 to the power of 12. So the goal is to create many people who are 7 SDS above the mean in cognitive capabilities. That's strong human intelligence amplification. It is my conviction that this is the only way forward for humanity. Subheading. Constraint. Algernon's Law. Algernon's Law.
