If the explosion has already stopped in some populations, then whence the present tense in "Actually, the intelligence explosion has been in progress for a long time now - and effective intelligence is already increasing with unprecidented rapidity."
Shouldn't that have read, "Actually, the intelligence explosion was in effect for a long time, and effective intelligence had increased with unprecedented rapidity."?
So: by "effective intelligence" I'm mostly talking about man plus computer systems. People are quite a bit smarter if they can use a camera, a net connection and have their test processed by a test-solving sweatshop. Expert systems are rising above human capabilities in many domains - in the form of large data centres.
