Superintelligence: The Idea That Eats Smart People
A skeptical 2016 talk by Maciej Ceglowski (Idle Words) that walks through the arguments for a superintelligence-driven intelligence explosion and takes them apart. Ceglowski compares the superintelligence risk debate to the Manhattan Project question of whether the first nuclear test could ignite the atmosphere, and argues that the core premises rest on speculative leaps rather than settled science. The talk was given at Web Camp Zagreb and is published as a full text transcript.
