But every time our ability to access information and to communicate it to others is improved, in some sense we have achieved an increase over natural intelligence.

Intelligence is the handmaiden of flexibility and change.

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

Animals can adapt to problems and make inventions, but often no faster than natural selection can do its work - the world acts as its own simulator in the case of natural selection.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.

We choose mania over boredom every time.
