If we think we need superhuman intelligence to survive those
technologies, why do we think we can survive developing superhuman
intelligence without any guide?
Sorry, but this wish for some Big Daddy to hold in the hand really
irritates me, regardless of whether the Daddy is an AI or a god. It is up
to *US* to solve the problems, using our limited and fallible minds to
come up with solutions. Some of these solutions might be minds of their
own, of course.
