I've created a new website for my ebook Facing the Intelligence Explosion:

Sometime this century, machines will surpass human levels of intelligence and ability, and the human era will be over. This will be the most important event in Earth’s history, and navigating it wisely may be the most important thing we can ever do.

Luminaries from Alan Turing and Jack Good to Bill Joy and Stephen Hawking have warned us about this. Why do I think they’re right, and what can we do about it?

Facing the Intelligence Explosion is my attempt to answer those questions.

This page is the dedicated discussion page for Facing the Intelligence Explosion.

I am a physicist. I am, as we speak, working on a project related to magnetism. I know exactly how magnetisation works. Take it from a domain expert: what you are saying is nonsense. Black holes are not magnets. We know what magnets do to the Earth and the solar system, and it does not involve pulling in anything. Even if it did, changing the Earth's magnetisation could not do this. I am not an expert on HAARP, but if it had made large changes to anything magnetic we would have noticed - the whole point is to measure magnetic changes.

It is probably best to refrain from replying to comments like MysTerri's, because s/he is clearly not receptive to reason. Alicorn reply was the only one needed, plus some silent downvoting.
