Does that page (http://www.intelligence.org/action/seed-ai-programmer.html)
strike anyone else as incredibly elitist? Not to mention highly unrealistic?
I really couldn't say how the takeoff is going to happen, but I highly doubt
it's going to come about as a result of some self selected group of
"humanitarian geniuses" who only let those they deem worthy into their club.
Most likely it's going to happen at google, or CMU, or Ben's company.
I'm not trying to start a fight here. I believe intelligence.org's heart is in
the right place. I'm just really put off by the elitist self-important
attitude of this particular article and I think it's worthwhile for me to
express my dissapointment and my opinion that the article should be removed.
I feel that it does a very poor job of representing the institute and
singularity ideas in general.
