IBM's Watson is being used to do medicine better than doctors. I remember reading that it takes $3 million and a few years for Watson to learn a subject. I have a few questions about this:
Could you raise $3 million to create a Watson for intelligence amplification. Would people pay to have custom made nootropics stacks for them?
Will somebody do it eventually? Is it worth researching nootropics right now?
Watson as I understand it is applying pre-existing knowledge. It seems the limiting factor on practical nootropics is the number of good studies rather than applying that data.
[Presumably the next step is to create a Watson for Watson design?]
