“Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended,” said Vernor Vinge during VISION-21 Symposium sponsored by NASA Lewis Research Center and the Ohio Aerospace Institute, March 30-31, 1993. Does it mean that BCI (Brain-Computer Interfaces), Artificial Intelligence, or some other intelligence-enhancement technology will transcend the human condition? Since technology is the product of intelligence it means when intelligence is enhanced by technology, you've got transhumans who are more effective at creating better transhumans, who are more effective at creating even better transhumans. We have the examples. Cro-Magnons changed faster than Neanderthals, agricultural society changed faster than hunter-gatherer society, printing-press society changed faster than clay-tablet society, and now we have "Internet time". We have observed that once any race gains the ability to technologically increase the level of intelligence - either by enhancing existing intelligence or by constructing entirely new minds - a fundamental change in the rules occurs. What according to you will be humanities new place in this cosmos when this happens?
