Yes, an excellent work. I am just contending that this Singularity, this
replacement of the human condition, would work more efficiently with humans
then without. Can a highspeed processor, or software consider what is
valuable and what is not? Depends of the programming. For programming, on the
fly, what could be better then human awareness. There may be something, but
right now it appears to me as quite useful, as a component (willing) for
SIAI.
